MASS-2 Gunfighters — USMC Embroidered Patch
Gunfighters — Direct Air Support Warriors
The Gunfighters of MASS-2 coordinate the close air support that turns Marine aviation into the infantry's deadliest ally. This officially licensed patch represents the Marines who sit between the grunts on the ground and the pilots in the sky, making sure ordnance hits the right target at the right time.
Marine Air Support Squadron 2 operates the Direct Air Support Center (DASC) for the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, serving as the critical link between ground combat units requesting close air support and the aviation assets that deliver it. MASS-2 Marines process immediate air requests, coordinate terminal attack control, manage helicopter support teams, and synchronize the employment of fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft in support of ground maneuver. From the DASC, the Gunfighters control the allocation and distribution of air support across the battlespace, ensuring that every Marine on the ground has access to the devastating firepower of Marine aviation.
Perfect For:
MASS-2 Gunfighters veterans and active duty Marines, Marine air support specialists, forward air controllers, JTAC operators, and aviation command and control collectors.
