Official VMR Det FWD Caddy Patch - Marine Transport Squadron Detachment Forward (VMR Det FWD) Distinguished Visitor Airlift Embroidered Patch, UC-35 Citation Encore community insignia.
Precision lift, quiet professionalism, and the forward-deployed transport identity of the Marines who move the mission's most important passengers.
VMR Det FWD is the forward-deployed element of Marine Transport Squadron Andrews, a detachment with roots stretching back to 1962 when a Marine Flight Section first established a presence at what is now Joint Base Andrews. Redesignated as VMR Detachment Andrews on October 1, 2004, the unit has since operated as the Marine Corps' premier fixed-wing executive airlift detachment, flying the UC-35C and UC-35D Citation Encore to transport high-ranking military officials and senior Department of Defense personnel across the area of responsibility. The Det FWD element pushes that mission forward into deployed theaters, providing timely and secure air transportation for distinguished visitors wherever the requirement exists. The Caddy callsign reflects the precision and executive-lift character of the UC-35 platform and the crew culture built around getting the right people to the right place on time, every time. This embroidered patch captures that identity in a format suited for flight suits, crew bags, shadow boxes, and unit display boards, giving the VMR Det FWD community a tangible piece of their deployed transport heritage to carry home.
Perfect For: VMR Det FWD aircrew veterans, UC-35 Citation Encore pilots and crew members, VMR Andrews alumni, Marine Forces Reserve aviation supporters, Joint Base Andrews Marines, distinguished visitor airlift community collectors, deployment keepsakes, shadow box displays, reunion gifts, and anyone building a Marine transport aviation collection that goes beyond fighter and rotary-wing patches. It also makes a meaningful tribute for families and supporters who want to honor the quiet, precision-focused work of Marines who keep senior leadership moving safely across theaters and continents.
Forward-deployed, precisely flown, and stitched for the crews who deliver when it matters most.
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.
