Official VMM-162 Golden Eagles PVC Patch — USMC Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron MV-22 Osprey Patch
Commissioned in 1951 and still flying. From the first ship-to-shore helicopter assault in history to the Osprey era — the Golden Eagles have done it all.
VMM-162 is one of the most storied squadrons in Marine Corps aviation. Originally activated as HMR-162, the "Golden Eagles" made amphibious warfare history during Operation Lex Baker I in 1952 — airlifting a combat-equipped company from the USS Rendova to Camp Pendleton in the first large-scale ship-to-shore helicopter movement ever attempted. Since then, the squadron has deployed to Vietnam, Beirut (providing critical support after the 1983 barracks bombing), Liberia (evacuating 2,600+ nationals during Operation Sharp Edge), Iraq, and Haiti — where their Ospreys became the first V-22s ever used for humanitarian relief after the 2010 earthquake. Now flying MV-22B Ospreys out of MCAS New River under MAG-26, VMM-162 continues to set the standard for tiltrotor operations.

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.
Yes. If you see a note like “bulk reruns available,” that means we can support group orders or reruns. If you don’t see it, contact us with the unit/squadron and quantity and we’ll confirm options.
