Officially Licensed USMC VMM-364 Purple Foxes Swifty Mascot Patch — Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 364 Purple Foxes Swifty the Fox Embroidered Patch
Swifty the Fox — VMM-364's beloved mascot takes center stage in this morale patch celebrating the Purple Foxes' unique squadron character.
Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 364 (VMM-364), the "Purple Foxes," is a USMC Reserve tiltrotor squadron based at Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton, California, operating the MV-22B Osprey. This patch features "Swifty," the Purple Foxes' squadron mascot, in a fun morale-style design that captures the personality and esprit de corps of VMM-364. Mascot patches are a cherished tradition in military aviation, giving squadrons a playful symbol that builds camaraderie and unit pride.
VMM-364 is part of Marine Aircraft Group 41 (MAG-41), 4th Marine Aircraft Wing, making it one of the Marine Corps Reserve's tiltrotor squadrons. Despite their Reserve status, the Purple Foxes maintain the same operational readiness as active-duty squadrons and have deployed in support of combat operations and humanitarian missions. The squadron's citizen-Marines balance civilian careers with the demanding requirements of Marine aviation, answering the call whenever the nation needs them.
The Purple Foxes have a proud heritage that dates back to their service in Vietnam, where the squadron flew countless combat assault missions in legacy helicopters. Today, the MV-22B Osprey gives VMM-364 capabilities that their Vietnam-era predecessors could only dream of — but the same warrior spirit endures, now embodied by Swifty the Fox.
Perfect For: VMM-364 Purple Foxes members and veterans, MV-22B Osprey community, Marine Reserve aviation personnel, MAG-41 community members, and military mascot patch collectors.
VMM-364 Purple Foxes — Swifty leads the way — Reserve-strong, combat-ready, and always purple.
