Official HMLA-773 Nomads Shoulder Patch — Reserve Light Attack from New Orleans
The Nomads of HMLA-773 roam from their Reserve base, bringing Cobra and Huey firepower wherever the Corps needs them.
Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 773 (HMLA-773), the Nomads, is a Marine Corps Reserve squadron operating the AH-1 and UH-1. This shoulder patch features the Nomads' identity, reflecting the squadron's Reserve heritage. HMLA-773's citizen-Marines maintain proficiency on the Marine Corps' light attack helicopter platforms while balancing civilian careers. When mobilized, the Nomads deploy alongside active-duty HMLA squadrons, providing close air support, armed escort, and utility transport. The Nomad identity captures the spirit of Reserve Marines who travel from their home station to wherever the mission demands.
Perfect For: HMLA-773 Nomads crews, Marine Reserve light attack aviators, skid community members, and USMC Reserve helicopter shoulder patch collectors.
Nomads — Reserve Marines, roaming to the fight.
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.
