HMLA-167 Warriors HGWT Tab Patch - Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 167 (HMLA-167) Warriors HGWT Morale Tab Embroidered Patch.
Warriors on station, armed and ready — the escort never breaks, and the ground force never moves alone.
Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 167 was commissioned in 1968 at Marble Mountain Air Facility in the Republic of Vietnam, building its identity in combat from the very first day. Today the Warriors fly the AH-1Z Viper and UH-1Y Venom out of Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina, operating under Marine Aircraft Group 29 and the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing. The squadron's mission covers offensive air support, armed escort, utility support, and airborne supporting arms coordination across day, night, and all-weather conditions in expeditionary, joint, and combined operations. HMLA-167 was also the first unit officially designated as a Light/Attack Squadron with a permanent composite mix of attack and utility helicopters, a structural identity that still defines the HMLA community. The Warriors have deployed through Operation Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom, accumulating a combat record that stretches across five decades and multiple theaters. The HGWT tab captures the escort-first ethos that defines light attack helicopter crews — the idea that when ground forces move, armed rotary-wing cover moves with them. An embroidered tab format keeps the design clean and readable on flight gear, patch panels, jackets, and shadow box displays.
Perfect For: HMLA-167 veterans and alumni, AH-1Z Viper and UH-1Y Venom aircrew, Marine light attack helicopter community members, MAG-29 and 2nd MAW collectors, MCAS New River veterans, deployment keepsakes, morale patch boards, challenge coin and tab displays, shadow boxes, reunion gifts, and anyone building a Marine aviation collection around the armed escort and close air support mission. It also suits families and supporters who want a specific, well-researched piece tied to the Warriors callsign, the HGWT ethos, and the long operational history behind one of the Marine Corps' most decorated light attack squadrons.
Warriors heritage, stitched into a tab that says everything the mission requires.
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.
