Product Description

Officially Licensed VQ-4 Shadows Squadron Patch — TACAMO Mission, Shadow Identity

The Shadows of VQ-4 fly the E-6B Mercury in the most critical mission you've never heard of.

Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron 4 (VQ-4), the Shadows, operates the E-6B Mercury for the TACAMO (Take Charge and Move Out) mission, providing airborne communications relay for the nation's nuclear deterrent force. This embroidered squadron patch represents VQ-4's identity in the standard format. The Shadows name is fitting for a squadron that operates in the background of national security, ensuring that communications links to nuclear-armed submarines remain intact under any scenario, including nuclear attack. VQ-4 is always airborne, always ready, always in the shadows.

Perfect For: VQ-4 Shadows aircrew and maintainers, E-6B Mercury fans, TACAMO mission enthusiasts, and Navy strategic reconnaissance squadron patch collectors.

Shadows — always airborne, always TACAMO.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right backing?

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.

What size is this item?

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.

Are these Officially Licensed?

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.

Do you offer bulk or reruns for units/squadrons?

Yes. If you see a note like “bulk reruns available,” that means we can support group orders or reruns. If you don’t see it, contact us with the unit/squadron and quantity and we’ll confirm options.

Can you make a custom patch / name tag / lanyard / apparel?

Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
