WTS-17 — Embroidered Patch
Wing Transport Squadron Heritage
WTS-17 represents the vital motor transport capability that kept the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing's ground logistics moving. This patch honors the Marines who drove the trucks, operated the heavy equipment, and moved the supplies that Marine aviation depends on every single day.
Wing Transport Squadron 17 provided motor transport support to the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing and its subordinate units. The squadron's Marines operated and maintained the tactical vehicles, heavy equipment, and transportation assets needed to move aviation supplies, personnel, ordnance, and equipment between air stations and deployed locations. Their ability to rapidly establish and sustain ground logistics lines was essential to Marine aviation's expeditionary character.
Perfect For:
WTS-17 veterans, 2nd MAW motor transport Marines, Marine aviation ground logistics personnel, and USMC transportation heritage collectors.
