Official HMH-361 Flying Tigers Okinawa Patch — Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 361 Flying Tigers UDP 18.2 Okinawa Embroidered Patch
The Flying Tigers on Okinawa — HMH-361 deploying to the Pacific with the CH-53E Super Stallion for UDP rotation 18.2, heavy-lift power in the Indo-Pacific.
Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 361 (HMH-361), the "Flying Tigers," is a USMC heavy-lift helicopter squadron operating the CH-53E Super Stallion. This patch commemorates HMH-361's Unit Deployment Program (UDP) rotation 18.2 to Okinawa, Japan, where the Flying Tigers provided heavy-lift helicopter capability to III Marine Expeditionary Force and the forward-deployed Marine forces in the Western Pacific.
The CH-53E Super Stallion is the Marine Corps' heavy-lift helicopter, capable of carrying 16 tons of external cargo or transporting combat-equipped Marines across the battlefield. During the UDP rotation on Okinawa, HMH-361 operated across the island chain and participated in exercises and training events that maintained readiness for potential contingencies in the Indo-Pacific theater. The Super Stallion's heavy-lift capability is essential for moving artillery, vehicles, supplies, and equipment that exceed the capacity of lighter helicopters and tiltrotor aircraft.
UDP rotations send continental U.S.-based squadrons to the Pacific for approximately six months, providing operational experience in the theater and maintaining the Marine Corps' forward presence.
Perfect For: HMH-361 Flying Tigers members from UDP 18.2, CH-53E Super Stallion community, Okinawa-based Marines, III MEF personnel, and Marine deployment patch collectors.

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.
