Official VMM-262 Doc/CLS Shoulder Patch - Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 262 Flying Tigers Navy Corpsman and Combat Lifesaver Role Identifier Embroidered Shoulder Patch.
Every Man a Tiger — and every Tiger has a Doc watching their back on the flight line, the ramp, and the objective.
VMM-262, the Flying Tigers, was established on September 1, 1951, and has grown into one of the most decorated and forward-deployed tiltrotor squadrons in Marine Corps aviation. Based at Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, Okinawa, under Marine Aircraft Group 36 and the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, the squadron flies the MV-22B Osprey and carries a mission set built around assault support transport, expeditionary lift, humanitarian relief, and short-notice worldwide response. The Doc and Combat Lifesaver shoulder patch identifies the Navy Corpsmen and trained CLS personnel embedded within the squadron — the medical backbone who keep aircrew, maintainers, and ground personnel ready to fly and fight. From Vietnam-era medevac runs and the 1975 evacuation of Saigon to Osprey relief operations following Typhoon Haiyan and the Nepal earthquake, VMM-262 has always needed skilled medical personnel close to the mission. This embroidered shoulder patch marks that role with the same unit pride carried by every Flying Tiger on the flight line. The construction suits uniform wear, flight-suit display, shadow boxes, and unit-history collections built around the people who keep the squadron mission-capable from the inside out.
Perfect For: Navy Corpsmen and Combat Lifesavers who served with VMM-262, Flying Tigers veterans and alumni, MAG-36 and 1st MAW collectors, military medical community members, Okinawa-based unit historians, family members honoring a Doc's service, shadow box builders, reunion displays, and anyone assembling a serious Marine aviation patch collection that includes the support roles behind every successful Osprey mission.
Flying Tigers heritage, stitched for the Docs and Combat Lifesavers who keep every Tiger in the fight.
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.
