Officially Licensed USMC Air Base Squadrons MABS 12 Patch

Marine Air Base Squadron MABS-12 — USMC Embroidered Patch

Iwakuni's Ground Operations Force

MABS-12 kept the lights on, the fuel flowing, and the runways clear at MCAS Iwakuni and every forward location where MAG-12 operated. This officially licensed patch represents the Marines who provided the essential base operations that enabled Marine aviation in the Western Pacific.

Marine Air Base Squadron 12 served as the base operations element of MAG-12, providing airfield services, aircraft rescue and firefighting, aviation fuels, motor transport, communications, and base security. Whether operating from permanent facilities at Iwakuni or establishing expeditionary airfields in combat zones, MABS-12 Marines ensured that MAG-12's tactical squadrons had everything they needed to fly and fight. The squadron's legacy of Pacific service spans World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and decades of forward deployment in Japan.

Perfect For:
MABS-12 veterans, MAG-12 ground support Marines, MCAS Iwakuni community, and Marine aviation base operations collectors.
