US USMC Senior Airborne Jump Wing

The US USMC Senior Airborne Jump Wing is an official insignia awarded to United States Marine Corps personnel who have achieved senior status as parachutists. The design features an open parachute flanked by outstretched stylized wings, with a star centered above the canopy, signifying senior qualification. This badge is authorized for wear on Marine Corps uniforms and recognizes completion of advanced airborne training, which typically includes a required number of jumps and demonstrated proficiency in airborne operations. The USMC Senior Airborne Jump Wing originated from Army Airborne insignia but is issued to Marines who serve in airborne roles or complete relevant Army-hosted airborne courses. The insignia is constructed from metal, often silver in color, and is designed for attachment to uniforms via pin or clutch back. It serves both as a mark of specialized training and as a symbol of airborne capability within the Marine Corps.
