VMGR-252 SPMAGTF Patch

VMGR-252 SPMAGTF Patch — One Last Ride on the Herc

Otis and the crew of VMGR-252 loaded up the KC-130 for one last ride — and this patch tells that story.

Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 252 (VMGR-252), based at MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina, operates the KC-130J Super Hercules providing aerial refueling, assault transport, and tactical logistics support. This SPMAGTF deployment patch commemorates a specific rotation where VMGR-252 served as part of a Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force, delivering the long-range lift and refueling capability that makes forward-deployed Marine operations possible. The KC-130 is the workhorse of Marine aviation logistics, and VMGR-252 crews have been flying the Hercules in harm's way for decades, earning the quiet respect of every Marine they've supported.

Perfect For: VMGR-252 aircrew and maintainers, KC-130 Hercules enthusiasts, SPMAGTF veterans, Cherry Point Marines, and Marine transport aviation collectors.

Here for the ride — and every mission that matters.
