Official MAWTS-1 Maintenance PVC Patches — Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron 1 Maintenance Department PVC Patch
MAWTS-1 Maintenance — keeping WTI aircraft mission-ready.
This MAWTS-1 Maintenance Department PVC patch represents the maintenance professionals who support the Weapons and Tactics Instructor Course at MCAS Yuma, Arizona. Without MAWTS-1's maintainers, the premier tactical aviation course in the Marine Corps couldn't launch a single aircraft.
MAWTS-1 conducts the biannual Weapons and Tactics Instructor Course, the Marine Corps' most demanding advanced tactics training event. The maintenance department is the unsung hero of every WTI course, ensuring that the diverse fleet of aircraft participating — from F-35s and F/A-18s to MV-22s, CH-53s, AH-1Zs, UH-1Ys, and KC-130s — are ready to fly an intensive schedule of complex tactical missions in the Yuma desert. MAWTS-1 maintainers work in extreme heat, maintain aircraft from across the Marine Corps' entire aviation fleet, and deliver the sortie generation rates that make WTI's compressed training schedule possible. The PVC construction is ideal for the Yuma environment — heat-resistant, dust-proof, and easy to clean after long days on the flightline.
This PVC patch represents MAWTS-1's maintenance backbone.
Perfect For: MAWTS-1 maintenance department Marines, WTI course support personnel, Marine aviation maintenance professionals, and MCAS Yuma PVC patch collectors.
Maintenance makes WTI fly — MAWTS-1.
