Official HMH-West Shoulder Patch - Marine Heavy Helicopter West Coast Community CH-53K King Stallion Transition Official Embroidered Shoulder Patch, MCAS Miramar, MAG-16, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing.
West Coast heavy lift identity, King Stallion era, and the next chapter of Marine assault support stitched into one official shoulder patch.
HMH-West is the official NAVAIR planning designation for the incoming West Coast CH-53K King Stallion squadrons at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, California, each slated to receive sixteen primary aircraft under Marine Aircraft Group 16 and the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. The West Coast heavy helicopter community has operated from Miramar for decades, with squadrons like HMH-361, HMH-462, HMH-465, and HMH-466 building a deep legacy of assault support, expeditionary lift, and combat deployments stretching from Vietnam through Desert Storm, Iraq, and Afghanistan. The CH-53K King Stallion transition marks a generational shift in that legacy, bringing triple the lift capacity of the legacy Super Stallion and new digital systems to a community already defined by moving troops, equipment, and supplies under demanding conditions. This official shoulder patch captures the HMH-West identity at the moment the West Coast heavy lift community steps into the King Stallion era, making it a historically significant piece for anyone connected to Marine heavy helicopter aviation past or present.
Perfect For: Marine heavy helicopter veterans, CH-53K King Stallion aircrew and maintainers, MAG-16 and 3rd MAW alumni, MCAS Miramar community members, HMH-West transition personnel, Marine aviation collectors, shadow box displays, deployment keepsakes, reunion gifts, challenge coin and patch boards, and anyone building a unit-history collection around West Coast Marine heavy lift aviation. It is especially meaningful for families, crew chiefs, and supporters who want a clean, official emblem marking the transition from the Super Stallion era to the King Stallion future.
West Coast heavy lift heritage, officially stitched for the King Stallion generation.
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.
