Official VQ-3 Ironmen Christmas Patch — TACAMO Holiday Spirit

The Ironmen of VQ-3 celebrate Christmas — even when they’re standing nuclear alert on December 25th.

Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron 3 (VQ-3), the Ironmen, operates the E-6B Mercury in the TACAMO (Take Charge And Move Out) mission, providing survivable communications for the nation’s nuclear command and control from Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma. This Christmas embroidered patch brings holiday spirit to one of the most serious missions in the military. VQ-3’s crews maintain continuous alert readiness 365 days a year, including Christmas — someone always has to be ready to relay the most consequential orders in the world. Holiday patches remind the Ironmen that even on alert, the season matters.

Perfect For: VQ-3 Ironmen aircrew, E-6B Mercury crews, TACAMO community members, Christmas military patch collectors, and nuclear command and control supporters.
