Marine Wing Support Squadron MWSS-1 — Embroidered Patch
First in Wing Support
MWSS-1 carries the distinction of being the first Marine Wing Support Squadron, setting the standard for the ground support operations that enable Marine aviation to project power from any location on earth. This officially licensed patch represents the pioneering Marines of wing support.
Marine Wing Support Squadron 1 provides the critical ground support functions that Marine aviation depends on, including expeditionary airfield operations, engineer support, bulk fuel distribution, motor transport, communications, and ground defense. The squadron's Marines are trained to rapidly establish aviation operating bases in austere environments, providing the infrastructure that allows Marine aircraft to operate from forward locations worldwide. MWSS-1's ability to build, sustain, and defend aviation facilities is the foundation upon which Marine expeditionary air power is built.
Perfect For:
MWSS-1 veterans, Marine aviation ground support Marines, wing support squadron personnel, and USMC aviation infrastructure collectors.
