Officially Licensed USMC MWHS-2 Paladins Squadron Patch - Marine Wing Headquarters Squadron 2 (MWHS-2) Paladins Officially Licensed Embroidered Patch, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina.
Paladins identity, wing-level command authority, and the steady backbone of 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing aviation in one officially licensed embroidered piece.
Marine Wing Headquarters Squadron 2 serves as the headquarters element and administrative backbone of the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, based at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina. Commissioned in December 1955, the squadron provides command, administrative, and logistical support for the wing headquarters and key elements of the Marine Air Control Group, keeping the command-and-control structure of one of the Marine Corps' largest aviation wings running at every tempo. The Paladins have supported combat operations across decades, including World War II, Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom, with the unit deploying as a whole to Al Asad Airbase in Iraq's Al Anbar Province beginning in 2005. That operational record gives the Paladins patch a weight that goes well beyond a headquarters designation. The 2nd MAW provides the aviation combat element for II Marine Expeditionary Force, and MWHS-2 is the unit that holds the command architecture together across every subordinate group, squadron, and deployed element under that wing. This officially licensed embroidered patch captures that identity with the detail and durability collectors and veterans expect from a unit-specific piece.
Perfect For: MWHS-2 Paladins veterans and alumni, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing supporters, MCAS Cherry Point Marines, Marine aviation command-element collectors, shadow box and display board builders, reunion gifts, deployment keepsakes, challenge coin and patch panel displays, and family members honoring a Marine who served in wing-level headquarters operations. It also suits serious Marine Corps patch collectors who want a verified, officially licensed piece representing the administrative and command heritage of East Coast Marine aviation.
Paladins heritage, officially licensed, and stitched for the Marines who keep the wing's command structure mission-ready.
