The Yankees of Marine aviation — fueling the fight from the Empire State.

Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 452 (VMGR-452), the “Yankees,” is a United States Marine Corps Reserve C-130 Hercules squadron with deep roots in New York. As one of the few Marine Reserve aerial refueling and transport squadrons, VMGR-452 provides critical assault support, aerial refueling, and cargo transport capabilities to the Marine Air-Ground Task Force. The squadron’s New York Yankees nickname and associated insignia reflect the proud New York heritage of its citizen-Marine aviators and crew members.

Flying the KC-130 Hercules, VMGR-452 performs a demanding range of missions including aerial refueling of helicopters and tiltrotor aircraft, tactical airlift of troops and equipment, aeromedical evacuation, and forward area refueling and rearming. As a Reserve squadron, the Yankees exemplify the Total Force concept — maintaining the same combat readiness standards as active-duty squadrons while drawing their personnel from the civilian workforce. The squadron has been activated for multiple contingencies and has deployed in support of operations worldwide, proving that Reserve Marines are always ready when the nation calls.

Perfect For: VMGR-452 veterans and Reserve Marines, C-130 Hercules crew members, Marine fixed-wing aviation enthusiasts, New York-based military supporters, and patch collectors who appreciate the unique identity of Marine Corps Reserve squadrons.

Reserve by status, combat-ready by standard — the Yankees deliver.
