MWSS-174 Airfield Operations Unit Patch

Description

Official MWSS-174 Airfield Operations Patch — Running the Runway So Aviation Can Fly

MWSS-174’s airfield ops team is the reason Marine aircraft have somewhere safe to land.

Marine Wing Support Squadron 174’s airfield operations section provides the critical functions that keep expeditionary airfields operational — air traffic control, crash-fire rescue, weather observation, and airfield management. MWSS-174 ensures that deployed Marine aviation units have the ground-side infrastructure and services needed to conduct flight operations in austere and forward environments. Without airfield ops, the most advanced aircraft in the Marine Corps inventory has nowhere to take off or land.

Perfect For: MWSS-174 airfield operations personnel, Marine ATC controllers, crash crew veterans, and expeditionary airfield patch collectors.

The runway is open because MWSS-174 says it’s open — and not before.
