Officially Licensed USMC MATSG-42 Stickers — Instruo Pugno Pugna Vinco
Because the reserve component keeps the training pipeline running, and MATSG-42 has been doing it since World War II.
Marine Aviation Training Support Group 42 (MATSG-42) is a Marine Corps Reserve aviation unit based at NAS Pensacola, Florida, under the 4th Marine Aircraft Wing. Originally commissioned in 1943 as Marine Base Defense Aircraft Group 42, MATSG-42's mission is to provide reserve component augmentation in direct support of active component Navy and Marine Corps aviation training — helping sustain the required levels of qualified Naval Aviators, Naval Flight Officers, Naval Aircrewmen, and enlisted aviation maintenance personnel. The unit's Latin motto, "Instruo Pugno Pugna Vinco" (I Prepare, I Fight, I Win), captures the training-to-victory pipeline that MATSG-42 supports from the beaches of Pensacola.
Perfect For: MATSG-42 Marines past and present, 4th MAW reservists, NAS Pensacola aviation training support personnel, and anyone who served in the unit that keeps the aviator pipeline flowing.
Prepare. Fight. Win. MATSG-42.
