Official HMH 462 Det B Vietnam Patch

Official HMH-462 Det B Vietnam Patch — USMC Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron Detachment Bravo Vietnam-Era Embroidered Patch

Detachment Bravo — HMH-462 in the jungles of Vietnam.

HMH-462's Detachment B deployed to Vietnam during the conflict, operating CH-53A Sea Stallions in the heavy-lift role that was desperately needed in the rugged terrain of Southeast Asia. The CH-53 was the only Marine helicopter capable of recovering downed aircraft and moving heavy equipment into remote fire bases that were inaccessible by road. Det B operated in some of the most demanding conditions in Marine aviation history — monsoon weather, mountainous terrain, and constant enemy fire — providing the heavy-lift backbone that kept Marine ground forces supplied and mobile.

Perfect For:
HMH-462 Det B Vietnam veterans, CH-53A Sea Stallion crews, Marine heavy helicopter Vietnam-era aviators, and USMC Vietnam deployment patch collectors.

Det Bravo. Vietnam. Heavy lift in the jungle.
