Official VMGR-153 Hercules PVC Patch — Fueling the Fight from the Islands When the Marine Air-Ground Task Force needs gas and cargo, Hercules delivers. VMGR-153 is a Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron based at MCAS Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, under Marine Aircraft Group 24 and the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing. Flying the KC-130J Super Hercules, VMGR-153 provides aerial refueling, assault support transport, and air delivery for Marine Corps operations across the Pacific. The Hercules callsign isn't just a name — it's a description. These crews haul fuel, troops, and cargo into austere airstrips, refuel fighters and tiltrotors mid-flight, and serve as the connective tissue that makes expeditionary operations across the vast Pacific theater possible. Based in paradise but deployed everywhere that isn't, VMGR-153 represents the heavy-lift aerial logistics backbone of the Marine Corps' Pacific-focused force. This PVC patch features the squadron's Hercules insignia in a durable, flight-suit-ready format. Perfect For: VMGR-153 Marines and veterans, KC-130J Super Hercules community, MCAS Kaneohe Bay squadrons, MAG-24 personnel, 1st MAW Marines, aerial refueling crews, and anyone who has ever topped off mid-flight courtesy of a Marine Herc. VMGR-153 Hercules — fuel, freight, and force projection.
