Description
US Customs & Border Protection – Brown Field Air Unit – With Hook and Loop
The Cart Donkeys of Brown Field — field-ready on the San Diego border.
The CBP Air Unit at Brown Field, located just south of San Diego near the U.S.-Mexico border, operates in one of the busiest and most closely watched border corridors in the country. The unit’s unofficial nickname, the “Cart Donkeys,” comes from the fact that every aircraft they fly requires a ground-handling cart — a distinction the unit wears with pride. Brown Field Air Unit personnel fly detection, monitoring, and interdiction missions along the Southern California border, providing aerial surveillance over urban smuggling corridors, rugged canyon terrain, and coastal approaches. This hook-and-loop variant is designed for operational wear on flight suits and tactical gear.
Perfect For:
CBP Brown Field Air Unit personnel, Air and Marine Operations pilots and agents, San Diego-area border enforcement professionals, and CBP aviation patch collectors.
The Cart Donkeys — hauling everything but the cart.
