Officially Licensed USMC VMU-2 Night Owls Squadron Patch — Marine Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Squadron 2 Embroidered Patch
The Night Owls — VMU-2's unmanned eyes and ears of the Marine Corps.
VMU-2 "Night Owls" is a Marine Unmanned Aerial Vehicle squadron based at MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina, operating under the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing. The Night Owls operate the RQ-21A Blackjack small tactical unmanned aircraft system, providing persistent intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) for II Marine Expeditionary Force. VMU-2 deploys organic unmanned aviation capability directly to Marine ground commanders, giving them real-time aerial imagery without waiting for manned aircraft or national-level assets. The Night Owls name captures the squadron's focus — unmanned platforms that operate most effectively under darkness, watching enemy movements and feeding critical intelligence.
Perfect For:
VMU-2 Night Owls veterans, Marine UAS community, RQ-21 Blackjack operators, 2nd MAW personnel, ISR community, MCAS Cherry Point Marines, and USMC unmanned aviation patch collectors.
Night Owls. VMU-2. Always watching.
