Official VRM-40 Det 1 Desperado Goats Patch - Fleet Logistics Multi-Mission Squadron 40, Detachment 1 Desperado Goats CMV-22B Osprey Embroidered Patch.
Desperado Goats grit, carrier deck presence, and the identity of the crew that carried the fleet on the Navy's first East Coast CMV-22B deployment.
VRM-40, the Mighty Bison, was established on March 24, 2022, as the U.S. Navy's first East Coast CMV-22B Osprey squadron, based at Naval Station Norfolk and built around four deployable detachments, each with three aircraft and 88 personnel assigned to a carrier air wing. Detachment 1, known informally as the Desperado Goats, made history as part of the first East Coast use of the CMV-22B Osprey as a carrier onboard delivery aircraft, embarked with the USS George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group. The detachment's mission centered on the rapid transport of high-priority cargo, equipment, and personnel to the carrier and its supporting vessels, operating in austere environments and extended ranges made possible by the Osprey's in-flight refueling capability. The Desperado Goats name reflects the Navy detachment tradition of forging a distinct identity separate from the parent squadron, marking the specific crew, maintainers, and aircrew who flew the first operational East Coast COD missions under the VRM community's newest chapter. This embroidered patch captures that identity in a format built for shadow boxes, flight bags, cruise displays, and unit-history collections.
Perfect For: VRM-40 veterans and crew members, Detachment 1 Desperado Goats alumni, CMV-22B Osprey aviators and maintainers, Naval Station Norfolk aviation collectors, carrier onboard delivery community supporters, USS George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group memorabilia displays, Navy logistics aviation historians, shadow box builders, reunion gifts, and anyone preserving the story of the Navy's transition from the C-2A Greyhound to the Osprey era on the East Coast.
Desperado Goats heritage, stitched for the crew that put the Osprey on the East Coast carrier deck first.
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.
