Officially Licensed H&HS MCAS New River Patch — The Backbone Nobody Sees Every Osprey that launches, every Viper that turns, every Huey that flies — H&HS made it possible. Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron (H&HS) at Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina, is the command and support element that keeps one of the Marine Corps' busiest rotary-wing and tiltrotor bases running. MCAS New River is home to the bulk of the East Coast's MV-22 Osprey, CH-53E Super Stallion, AH-1Z Viper, and UH-1Y Venom squadrons under the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing and II Marine Expeditionary Force. H&HS provides the essential base operations, security, communications, supply, and administrative support that allow these combat squadrons to train, deploy, and fight. Without H&HS, the flightline goes dark, the chow hall closes, and nobody gets paid. This patch represents the Marines who keep the gears turning behind the scenes at New River — the unsung heroes who make Marine aviation possible. Perfect For: H&HS MCAS New River Marines and veterans, base operations personnel, 2nd MAW support staff, anyone who served at New River, and the Marines who know that the mission starts long before the rotors spin. H&HS New River — we don't fly, but nothing flies without us.
