US Army Dustoff Vietnam

237th Med. Det. (DMZ Dustoff )

The 237th was one of the last Dustoff units to arrive in VN and one of the last to leave, arriving November, 1968, and departing in May, 1973. The unit was based at Camp Evans, Quang Tri, Phu Bai, Khe Sanh (during Lam Son 719, in Laos, where they sustained heavy casualties to both men and equipment), Qui Nhon and Lane Army Airfield. In 1973, the 237th flew the Hueys that were painted all white with the red cross in a very controversial move that was meant to reduce the losses of the crews and aircraft of these unarmed Air Ambulances. Leaflets were dropped all over the AO notifying the enemy that these were unarmed helicopters used solely for medical evacuation. Unfortunately, the white paint only made them easier targets, with losses increasing instead of decreasing.

Product Description

US Army 237th Dust Off Patch

DMZ Dustoff — one of the last medevac units into Vietnam and one of the last to leave.

The 237th Medical Detachment — callsign "DMZ Dustoff" — was one of the last Dust Off units to arrive in Vietnam and one of the last to depart. Operating in the dangerous DMZ region, the 237th's crews flew UH-1 Huey medevac missions in some of the most heavily contested airspace in the war. This patch carries the identity of a unit that served until the very end.

Perfect For:
237th Medical Detachment veterans, DMZ Dustoff crews, Vietnam medevac personnel, and military medical patch collectors.

DMZ Dustoff. Last in. Last out.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right backing?

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.

What size is this item?

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.

Are these Officially Licensed?

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.

Do you offer bulk or reruns for units/squadrons?

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.

Can you make a custom patch / name tag / lanyard / apparel?

Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
