USMC MV-22 Qualification Collateral Duty Quality Assurance Rep (CDQAR) GITD Patch — MV-22 Osprey CDQAR Glow-in-the-Dark PVC Patch
CDQAR on deck — quality assurance that keeps the Osprey mission-ready.
The Collateral Duty Quality Assurance Representative (CDQAR) is a critical maintenance qualification in Marine Corps aviation, designating Marines who perform quality assurance inspections on maintenance actions in addition to their primary duties. On the MV-22 Osprey, CDQAR-qualified Marines serve as an independent set of eyes, verifying that maintenance procedures are followed correctly, technical publications are adhered to, and all work meets the exacting standards required to keep these complex tiltrotor aircraft safe and mission-capable.
This glow-in-the-dark PVC patch identifies CDQAR-qualified MV-22 maintainers during nighttime operations on the flight line. The CDQAR role is essential to the Marine Corps' quality assurance program, providing an additional layer of verification beyond the performing maintainer and the supervisor. CDQARs inspect critical and major maintenance actions, verify torque values, check safety wire installations, and ensure that all required inspections are properly documented. Earning the CDQAR qualification requires extensive maintenance experience, thorough knowledge of technical publications, and the ability to identify discrepancies that could compromise aircraft safety.
Perfect For: MV-22 CDQAR-qualified Marines, aviation quality assurance professionals, Osprey maintenance supervisors, qualification patch collectors, GITD PVC patch enthusiasts, and anyone who values the quality assurance Marines who keep aircraft safe through rigorous inspection.
CDQAR verified — quality assurance on the Osprey flight line.
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.
