Authentic MWSS-371 ‘Alley Cats’ Support Platoon Embroidered Patch

Description

Official MWSS-371 Alley Cats Support Platoon Patch — Building the Base So Others Can Fight

The Alley Cats of MWSS-371 build the airfield, run the fuel, and secure the perimeter so the jets can fly.

Marine Wing Support Squadron 371 (MWSS-371), the Sandsharks, operate out of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center at Twentynine Palms, California, with this patch specifically representing the Support Platoon — the Alley Cats. MWSS-371 provides all the essential services that an expeditionary airfield requires: runway construction and repair, fuel storage and distribution, crash fire rescue, base defense, and field utilities. The Support Platoon handles the logistics and services that keep the entire squadron functioning. Without MWSS units, Marine aviation cannot operate from forward locations — they literally build the bases that combat aircraft fly from.

Perfect For: MWSS-371 Sandsharks veterans, Support Platoon Alley Cats, expeditionary airfield engineers, Marine wing support personnel, and combat service support collectors.

Alley Cats build it, fuel it, defend it.
