Officially Licensed USMC MALS-16 Immortals Patch — Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 16 Immortals Embroidered Patch
Immortals — MALS-16 keeps the aircraft flying forever.
Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 16 (MALS-16) "Immortals" is a United States Marine Corps aviation logistics squadron whose mission is to provide intermediate-level maintenance, supply support, and aviation logistics to the squadrons of their parent Marine Aircraft Group. The "Immortals" callsign reflects the squadron's ability to keep aircraft alive and flying — no matter how broken, worn, or battle-damaged, the Immortals bring them back.
MALS-16's maintenance professionals include avionics technicians, airframe mechanics, engine specialists, ordnance handlers, supply clerks, and quality assurance inspectors who collectively ensure that every aircraft in the group is mission-ready. Without MALS-16, the flight squadrons cannot fly — the Immortals provide the depot-level repairs, component overhauls, and supply chain management that keep Marine aviation in the air. The "Immortals" identity perfectly captures the maintenance community's ethos: the aircraft may take damage, suffer mechanical failures, and endure the harshest operating conditions on Earth, but the Immortals will always bring them back to life. It's a fitting name for the Marines who refuse to let any aircraft stay down.
This patch honors the Immortals' logistics mission.
Perfect For: MALS-16 Immortals maintenance Marines, Marine aviation logistics specialists, intermediate maintenance activity professionals, and MALS patch collectors.
Immortals keep them flying — MALS-16.
