Officially Licensed USMC MACG-18 PVC Patch — Marine Air Control Group 18 Patch Born in Da Nang at the height of Vietnam — and still running the airspace for III MEF in the Pacific. Marine Air Control Group 18 was formed on September 1, 1967 in Da Nang, Vietnam, with its component units already deep in combat — including a HAWK missile battalion that was among the first Marine units to land in-country. MACG-18 participated in every major campaign in I Corps and earned four Presidential Unit Citations, three Navy Unit Commendations, and a Meritorious Unit Commendation. Today, MACG-18 is based at MCAS Futenma, Okinawa, providing command, control, communications, air traffic control, and short-range air defense for 1st Marine Aircraft Wing and III MEF across the Indo-Pacific. • Official PVC military patch with raised 3D design • Weatherproof and UV-resistant — won't fade or fray • Hook & loop backing for tactical gear, flight equipment, and headwear • Easy-clean surface maintains sharp appearance • Sized for standard Velcro panels Perfect For: MACG-18 Marines past and present, 1st MAW command and control personnel, air traffic controllers and TAOC operators, III MEF Marines stationed in Okinawa, and USMC unit patch collectors.
