Officially Licensed USMC VMMT-204 Raptors blackout PVC patch.
The Osprey schoolhouse — every MV-22 pilot and crew chief in the Corps comes through here.
Marine Medium Tiltrotor Training Squadron 204 (VMMT-204), the "Raptors," is the U.S. Marine Corps Fleet Replacement Squadron for the MV-22B Osprey, based at Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina under Marine Aircraft Group 26 (MAG-26) and the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing. VMMT-204 trains every Marine and Navy MV-22 Osprey pilot, crew chief, and maintainer in the use, maintenance, and tactical employment of the tiltrotor — the schoolhouse that feeds the entire VMM operational community. The squadron was originally activated on May 1, 1972 as Marine Medium Helicopter Training Squadron 204 (HMT-204) following the post-Vietnam reorganization that deactivated Marine Aircraft Training Group 40 and consolidated HMT-401 (CH-46) and HMT-402 (CH-53) into HMT-204 — initially a composite training squadron training both CH-46 and CH-53 pilots side-by-side. In June 1988, HMT-302 took over CH-53 training and the CH-53s departed; on November 9, 1988 HMT-204 received the Meritorious Unit Commendation for service to the FMF; and in October 1993, after HMT-301 deactivated, HMT-204 became the sole Fleet Replacement Squadron for the entire CH-46E Sea Knight community — earning the distinction of being the largest CH-46E squadron in the Marine Corps. On June 10, 1999 HMT-204 was officially redesignated as VMMT-204, transitioning to its current MV-22B Osprey training mission. This blackout PVC patch is the Raptor schoolhouse calling card.
Perfect For: VMMT-204 Raptors instructor pilots, instructor crew chiefs, and Maintenance Training Marines, MV-22B Osprey FRS students, MAG-26 and 2nd MAW personnel, MCAS New River Marines, HMT-204 CH-46E Sea Knight heritage trainers, and Marine tiltrotor community collectors.
Raptors — the Osprey schoolhouse, blackout, since 1972.
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.
