VX-31 Dust Devils China Lake Earthquake PVC Patch — Air Test and Evaluation Squadron 31 Dust Devils China Lake Earthquake Commemorative PVC Patch
Dust Devils survive the quake — VX-31 endures at China Lake.
This VX-31 "Dust Devils" PVC patch commemorates the earthquake that struck Naval Air Weapons Station (NAWS) China Lake, California, causing significant damage to the base and its facilities. VX-31 operates from China Lake, one of the Navy's most important test and evaluation facilities, and this patch marks the squadron's resilience through the seismic event.
VX-31 Dust Devils conduct operational test and evaluation of airborne weapons systems, electronic warfare equipment, and aircraft at NAWS China Lake, whose vast desert ranges provide the space and instrumentation needed for testing the Navy's most advanced weapons. When a major earthquake struck the region, the base sustained considerable damage that disrupted operations and displaced personnel. This commemorative PVC patch honors VX-31's response to the disaster — the Dust Devils who stayed, rebuilt, and returned to the critical test and evaluation mission that the fleet depends on. The earthquake-themed design turns a natural disaster into a symbol of squadron resilience, and the PVC construction is as tough as the Dust Devils themselves.
This PVC patch commemorates VX-31's earthquake resilience.
Perfect For: VX-31 Dust Devils personnel, NAWS China Lake base members, test and evaluation community professionals, and earthquake commemorative military PVC patch collectors.
Dust Devils endure — VX-31 China Lake.
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.
