Official VRC-40 Rough Rider Cruise Patch — Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 40 Rawhides "Rough Rider" Cruise Embroidered Patch

Rough Rider cruise — VRC-40 Rawhides deliver across the fleet.

This VRC-40 "Rawhides" Rough Rider cruise patch commemorates a specific deployment or cruise period for the fleet logistics support squadron, capturing the Rawhides' contribution to fleet operations during that tour. Cruise patches are cherished mementos that mark specific deployments and experiences.

VRC-40 operated the C-2A Greyhound in the Carrier Onboard Delivery (COD) mission, flying logistics support missions between shore bases and aircraft carriers at sea. The Rawhides' detachments deployed aboard carriers across the globe, delivering mail, passengers, cargo, and high-priority parts that kept the carrier and its air wing operating at peak efficiency. The "Rough Rider" cruise identity references the squadron's connection to the carrier or battle group they supported during that specific deployment. Every COD flight ended with a carrier arrested landing and began with a catapult launch — the most demanding flying in naval aviation — making every cruise a test of pilot skill and aircraft reliability. This cruise patch commemorates one of VRC-40's deployment rotations.

This cruise patch marks VRC-40's Rough Rider deployment.

Perfect For: VRC-40 Rawhides cruise veterans, C-2A Greyhound COD aviators, carrier logistics support deployment collectors, and Navy cruise patch enthusiasts.

Rough Rider — VRC-40 delivers.
