Originally activated in December 1943 as VMO-351 at Quantico, Virginia, the squadron fought in the Pacific campaigns at Peleliu and Okinawa before a 17-year deactivation. Reactivated in 1966 for Vietnam, Scarface became the first Marine aviation squadron to employ the AH-1G Cobra attack helicopter in combat, setting a standard for aggressive close air support that defined the unit's identity for decades. The squadron went on to fly AH-1Z Viper attack helicopters and UH-1Y Venom utility helicopters, deploying in support of Operations Desert Shield, Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom, and Enduring Freedom across Iraq and Afghanistan. The Unit Deployment Program, or UDP, is the Marine Corps aviation rotational system that sends squadrons overseas — typically to Okinawa — for six-month increments. UPD 26.2 marks a specific rotation number in that cycle, making this patch a precise commemorative piece tied to the Marines who served that deployment together. The PVC format holds the Scarface skull design cleanly through field conditions, making it equally at home on a plate carrier, a range bag, a patch panel, or a shadow box display alongside challenge coins and cruise memorabilia from the same rotation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect For: HMLA-367 Scarface veterans and active-duty members, UPD 26.2 rotation alumni, AH-1Z Viper and UH-1Y Venom aircrew and maintainers, MAG-39 and 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing collectors, Marine Corps aviation historians, deployment keepsake displays, shadow boxes, patch boards, reunion gifts, and anyone building a unit-history collection around Marine light attack helicopter heritage and the rotational deployment tradition that defines forward-presence readiness in the Pacific.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScarface lineage, one rotation at a time — the skull, the number, and the Marines who earned it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military, Law Enforcement and Custom Patches by USMCinsignia.com","offers":[{"title":"PVC","offer_id":45338274955373,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Embroidered Fabric","offer_id":45338274988141,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Reflective","offer_id":45338275020909,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9831\/files\/4Patch_14_44b6b5f6-e9e5-402d-b3b4-04c70803587a.png?v=1781450963","url":"https:\/\/marinepatches.com\/products\/official-hmla-367-scarface-upd-26-2-patches","provider":"MarinePatches.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
