Official MALS-39 Desert Tan PVC 60C Patch — Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 39 PVC Patch
MALS-39 in desert tan—the aviation logistics warriors of MAG-39 at Camp Pendleton, rendered in a subdued desert colorway for deployed environments and tactical gear.
Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 39 (MALS-39) is the dedicated aviation logistics support squadron for Marine Aircraft Group 39, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, I Marine Expeditionary Force, based at Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton, California. MALS-39 provides intermediate-level maintenance, supply support, aviation ordnance, avionics repair, and aircraft component repair for MAG-39's tiltrotor and helicopter squadrons operating the MV-22B Osprey, AH-1Z Viper, UH-1Y Venom, and CH-53E Super Stallion.
This desert tan PVC patch represents the deployed identity of MALS-39, reflecting the squadron's readiness to support MAG-39 aviation operations in austere desert environments—from Twentynine Palms during Integrated Training Exercises to forward operating bases in the Middle East and Central Asia. The "60C" reference points to the Marine Corps MOS system's aviation ordnance specialty series, highlighting the critical role of MALS-39's ordnancemen who build, handle, and maintain the weapons systems that arm MAG-39's attack and utility aircraft.
PVC patches have become increasingly popular in the military community for their durability, weather resistance, and three-dimensional detail—qualities that make them ideal for deployment gear, flight equipment, and field use where traditional embroidered patches would deteriorate. The desert tan colorway provides a low-visibility option that blends with desert flight suits and tactical equipment while still displaying squadron pride and professional identity.
Perfect For: MALS-39 members and veterans, MAG-39 aviation ordnance and maintenance personnel, 3rd MAW aviation logisticians, MCAS Camp Pendleton Marines, desert deployment veterans, and PVC tactical patch collectors.
MALS-39 in the sand—keeping MAG-39's rotary-wing and tiltrotor fleet armed and maintained from Camp Pendleton to every desert deployment where Marines need wings in the fight.
