Officially Licensed USMC VMFA(AW)-242 Bats Patch — Marine All-Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 242 Embroidered Patch

The Bats — VMFA(AW)-242's forward-deployed all-weather night attack from MCAS Iwakuni.

VMFA(AW)-242 "Bats" is a Marine all-weather fighter attack squadron operating the F/A-18D Hornet from MCAS Iwakuni, Japan. Forward-deployed to the Western Pacific, the Bats serve as a critical component of III Marine Expeditionary Force's aviation combat element. The bat insignia represents the squadron's mission — creatures that hunt with precision in total darkness. VMFA(AW)-242's forward deployment places them within rapid response range of potential contingencies throughout the Indo-Pacific region, from the Korean Peninsula to the South China Sea. The Bats have deployed extensively for combat operations in the Middle East and maintain constant readiness for the complex security environment of the Western Pacific.

Perfect For:
VMFA(AW)-242 Bats veterans, F/A-18D Hornet community, MCAS Iwakuni personnel, III MEF aviation, Indo-Pacific security enthusiasts, and USMC all-weather squadron patch collectors.

Bats. VMFA(AW)-242. Bats fly at midnight.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
