Official MWSS-373 Motor Transport (MT) Maintenance section patch.
MWSS-373 MT — wheels turning, gear moving, Miramar to the desert.
Marine Wing Support Squadron 373 (MWSS-373) is a U.S. Marine Corps aviation ground support squadron based at MCAS Miramar, California, under Marine Air Control Group 38 (MACG-38) and the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. MWSS-373 provides the essential aviation ground support functions that keep an expeditionary airfield operating: motor vehicle support, mobile electric power, heavy equipment, tactical aviation refueling, runway services, second-echelon maintenance, airfield operations (everything but air traffic control), aircraft and rapid-ground refueling, crash/fire/rescue, weather support, and medical functions. The squadron's lineage runs back to Wing Equipment and Repair Squadron 37 (WERS-37), activated on April 1, 1967 at MCAS El Toro, Santa Ana, California; restructured and redesignated as Wing Transportation Squadron 37 (WTS-37) on January 31, 1977; eventually becoming MWSS-373; and relocated from MCAS El Toro to MCAS Miramar on August 21, 1998 in the post-El Toro consolidation. During Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm (August 1990–April 1991), MWSS-373 pumped over 29 million gallons of fuel to aircraft, provided over 2 million meals, and transported 46 million pounds of ordnance — a sustainment performance that put the squadron on the map. In July 1992 MWSS-373 became the first support squadron in I Marine Expeditionary Force to achieve 100% readiness. The Motor Transport (MT) Maintenance section is the wrenching backbone of all of that — the Marines who keep the 7-tons, MTVRs, HEMTTs, R-11 fuelers, P-19 ARFF trucks, and MEP gen-sets ready to roll. This patch is theirs.
Perfect For: MWSS-373 active-duty and veteran Marines and Sailors, Motor Transport Maintenance section Marines (3521/3522), MCAS Miramar tenants, MACG-38 and 3rd MAW personnel, Desert Shield/Storm MWSS veterans, MCAS El Toro heritage Marines, and Marine aviation ground support community collectors.
MWSS-373 MT — wheels rolling, fuel flowing, ground support set.
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.
Yes. If you see a note like “bulk reruns available,” that means we can support group orders or reruns. If you don’t see it, contact us with the unit/squadron and quantity and we’ll confirm options.
Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
