Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 363 (VMM-363) is a USMC tiltrotor squadron consisting of MV-22B Ospreys. The squadron, known as the “Lucky Red Lions”, is based at MCB Hawaii and falls under the command of Marine Aircraft Group 24 (MAG-24) and the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing. Their mission is to provide assault support of combat troops, supplies and equipment during amphibious operations and subsequent operations ashore. Routinely, VMM squadrons provide the foundation for an aviation combat element (ACE) of any level Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) mission that may include conventional assault support tasks and special operations. This is their “shoulder” bullet patch with the RED LIONhead in the background and does not have velcro attached.
