**Officially Licensed USMC HMLA-269 Gunrunners Desert Squadron Sticker — Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron Desert Variant Vinyl Sticker**
Desert tones for the squadron that was there from the beginning. From the sands of Kuwait to Al Asad Airbase, the Gunrunners have logged more combat hours in desert environments than most squadrons have logged total.
This desert-variant sticker presents the HMLA-269 "Gunrunners" squadron insignia in subdued desert tones, reflecting the operational environments where the squadron has spent much of its combat history. During Desert Storm, the Gunrunners deployed with twelve AH-1Ws, three AH-1Ts, and six UH-1Ns, conducting close-in fire support, escort, and the legendary Faylaka Island raid under NVG conditions. In 2003, HMLA-269 flew nearly 3,000 combat hours in 55 days during OIF, maintaining 24-hour operations with zero personnel losses. The squadron completed six deployments to Iraq and multiple operations across the Middle East — terrain where desert camouflage wasn't just aesthetic, it was operational.
