Description

Official MWSS-273 Sweathogs Expeditionary Airfields PVC Patch — Marine Wing Support Squadron 273 Sweathogs Expeditionary Airfields PVC Patch

Sweathogs build the airfield — so Marine aviation can fight.

Marine Wing Support Squadron 273 (MWSS-273) “Sweathogs” is a United States Marine Corps aviation ground support squadron based at MCAS Beaufort, South Carolina, operating within Marine Air Control Group 28 (MACG-28) under 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing. This Expeditionary Airfields PVC patch specifically honors the squadron’s airfield construction and operations capability — the Marines who build, maintain, and operate forward airfields in austere environments.

MWSS-273’s expeditionary airfield Marines are the reason Marine aviation can operate from anywhere in the world. When a forward operating base needs a runway, taxiway, parking apron, or arresting gear, the Sweathogs deploy with their heavy equipment and AM-2 matting to create a functional airfield from raw terrain. They build expeditionary airfields in deserts, jungles, and remote islands — wherever Marine aircraft need to operate. The Sweathogs also provide aviation ground support including fuel, ordnance handling areas, crash/fire/rescue, weather services, and base defense. This PVC patch is built as tough as the Sweathogs themselves — waterproof, fade-resistant, and ready for the field.

This PVC patch honors MWSS-273’s expeditionary airfield mission.

Perfect For: MWSS-273 Sweathogs airfield Marines, expeditionary airfield construction specialists, Marine aviation ground support professionals, and wing support squadron PVC patch collectors.
