Official MCAS Yuma Aircraft Recovery / Search and Rescue patch.
So Others May Live — 100-mile radius, 24/7, Yuma SAR.
Marine Corps Air Station Yuma is the Corps' busiest air station and the home of more than half of the USMC's F-35B Lightning II Fleet Replacement and operational fighter squadrons. Inside that operating tempo, MCAS Yuma's Search and Rescue (SAR) detachment is the on-call lifeline for every aviator within a 100-nautical-mile radius — flying their motto "So Others May Live" 24 hours a day, seven days a week, holidays included. When a SAR mission is declared, the unit launches a quick-response crew of pilot, co-pilot, crew chief, and corpsman — all of them EMT-certified and trained in Basic Life Support, Advanced Cardiac Life Support, Pediatric Advanced Life Support, and trauma immobilization, with the helicopter rigged to hoist victims out of the brutal Sonoran Desert and Chocolate Mountain ranges where MCAS Yuma's pilots train. In a single year the unit responded to 27 calls and rescued more than 60 people. Aircraft Recovery and the Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) team back them up on the runway, hauling in downed aircraft, running fire response drills, and keeping the airfield clear so the F-35Bs and the Yuma fleet can keep flying. This patch is for every airframer, corpsman, ARFF Marine, crew chief, and pilot who keeps the recovery birds turning.
Perfect For: MCAS Yuma Search and Rescue and ARFF Marines, Aircraft Recovery teams, MAG-13 Marines, Yuma F-35B and AV-8B veterans, Sonoran Desert and Chocolate Mountain range training participants, and Marine air station ground support enthusiasts.
Yuma SAR — 100 NM radius, 24/7, So Others May Live.
If you want to swap patches on/off gear, choose hook & loop (velcro). If you’re attaching permanently to uniforms or fabric, choose sew-on. If you want quick application on compatible fabric, choose iron-on / heat seal (when offered). Backing options are shown on the page and update based on the variant you select.
Size is shown on the product page and updates with the variant you select (example: 3"). If you’re mounting on a hat or small panel, choose smaller sizes; for plate carriers and display boards, larger sizes fit better.
If the product is officially licensed, it will say “Officially Licensed” in the title and/or in the product details. If it doesn’t, it’s still a legitimate product—just not part of a licensed program.
