List of active United States Marine Corps aircraft squadrons

This is a list of all of the active squadrons that currently exist in the United States Marine Corps, sorted by type. Most squadrons have changed names and designations many times over the years, so they are listed by their current designation. To see Aviation units sorted by command hierarchy, see aviation combat element.

Squadron designations

The basic tactical and administrative unit of United States Marine Corps aviation is the squadron. Fixed-wing aircraft squadrons (heavier than air) and tiltrotor squadrons are denoted by the letter "V", which comes from the French verb "Voler" (to fly). Rotary wing (helicopter) squadrons use "H." Marine squadrons are always noted by the second letter "M." Squadron numbering is not linear as some were numbered in ascending order and others took numbers from the wing or the ship to which they were assigned.[1] From 1920 to 1941, Marine flying squadrons were identified by one digit numbers. This changed on July 1, 1941 when all existing squadrons were redesignated to a three-digit system. The first two numbers were supposed to identify the squadrons parent group but with the rapid expansion during World War II and frequent transfer of squadrons this system fell apart. [2]

Marine Helicopter Squadron

The squadron is responsible for the helicopter transportation of the President of the United States, Vice President, Cabinet members and VIPs. In addition to its VIP transport role, it is also tasked with operational test and evaluation (OT&E) of new flight systems for Marine Corps helicopters.[3] The squadron currently flies the VH-3D Sea King and the VH-60N Blackhawk but these are due to be replaced by the VH-71 Kestrel in the near future.[4]

Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadrons

Heavy helicopter squadrons were first formed in 1966 when the Marine Corps began flying the heavy lift CH-53 Sea Stallion during the Vietnam War.[6] Their primary role is moving cargo and equipment with the secondary role of transferring troops ashore in an amphibious assault. Most of the squadrons have transitioned to the larger and more powerful CH-53E Super Stallion; however, three squadrons of the original Sea Stallions still remain.[7] The CH-53Es are the most powerful helicopter in the U.S. military inventory today[8]. Due to a reorganization in Marine aviation, HMH-366 is due to be reactivated in 2008[9]

Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadrons

The Marine Corps’ light attack squadrons are composite squadrons usually made up of 12 AH-1W Cobras and 6 UH-1N Hueys. The primary missions of the Cobra is close air support, forward air control, reconnaissance and armed escort,[22] while the Huey provides airborne command and control, utility support, supporting arms coordination and medical evacuation.[23] Both airframes are due to be upgraded as part of the H-1 Upgrade Program which will see them get greater power, improved avionics and an 85% commonality of parts. When the aircraft are upgraded they will have the new nomenclatures AH-1Z[24] and UH-1Y[25].[26] Due to the need for more light attack squadrons, the Marine Corps will be adding three more HMLAs in the next few years. In 2008, HMLA-467 will stand up followed by HMLA-469 and HMLA-567 in 2009. Locations and Group assignments for these new squadrons has yet to be finalized[9].

Marine Medium Helicopter Squadrons

The Marine Corps' HMM squadrons first came to being in 1964 with the fielding of the CH-46 Sea Knight medium helicopter. They provide all-weather, day/night, night vision goggle (NVG) assault transport of combat troops, supplies, and equipment during amphibious and subsequent operations ashore. Troop assault is their primary function and the movement of supplies and equipment is secondary.[36][37] The CH-46 is currently being replaced by the MV-22 Osprey and HMM squadrons are incrementally being deactivated and coming back as VMMs.[38]

Tiltrotor Aircraft

Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadrons

Marine tiltrotor squadrons are new units operating the MV-22 Osprey with their main mission being assault support. The Osprey offers twice the speed, three times the payload, five times the range, and can fly more than twice as high as the helicopters it is destined to replace.[52] As the Marine Corps’ number one aviation acquisition priority, the Osprey is replacing the aging fleet of CH-46 Sea Knight and CH-53D Sea Stallion helicopters and is a cornerstone of the capstone concept of Expeditionary maneuver warfare. [53] The Marine Corps is planning on transitioning two squadrons a year to the new airframe until all squadrons have made the conversion. [38]

Marine Tiltrotor Operational Test and Evaluation Squadron

The squadron is a joint Marine Corps & Air Force test and development unit. Its mission is to conduct operational testing and evaluation of the MV/CV-22 Osprey and future tiltrotor systems. [58] [59][60]

Fixed-Wing Aircraft

Marine Attack Squadrons

After World War II the Navy decided to combine all of the functions of the scout bomber, torpedo bomber and bomber torpedo communities into one simple Attack designation[62]. So on July 22, 1946, they released Bulletin No. 46-1543 which authorized the formation of attack squadrons; however, the Marine Corps did not form any until 1952[2]. Today, Marine attack squadrons fly the AV-8B Harrier II[63] and are tasked with providing close air support, air interdiction, armed reconnaissance and escort of helicopters. Because the STOVL Harrier can operate from Amphibious assault ships, expeditionary airfields and tactical remote landing sites, it provides commanders with more flexibility in providing air support.[64] The Harrier is due to be replaced by the STOVL version of the F-35 Lightning II[65].

Marine Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadrons

VMAQ squadrons operate the EA-6B Prowler[74] and are tasked with providing Electronic attack, electronic protection, radar jamming and suppression of enemy air defense using the AN/ALQ-99 jamming pod[75] and the AGM-88 HARM. Each of the four squadrons operates five aircraft and are land-based (although they are capable of landing on board U.S. Navy aircraft carriers).[76][77]

Marine Fighter Attack Squadrons

The Marine Corps' VMFA squadrons fly the single seat, A & C models of the F/A-18 Hornet and their primary role is to intercept and destroy enemy aircraft under all-weather conditions and attack and destroy surface targets under the weather. Each squadron employs 12 jets.[82][83]

Marine Fighter Attack Squadrons (All Weather)

The VMFA(AW) squadrons fly the B & D , two seat versions of the F/A-18 Hornet. Their primary mission is to attack and destroy surface targets, day or night, under all weather conditions; conduct multi-sensor imagery reconnaissance; provide supporting arms coordination; and intercept and destroy enemy aircraft under all weather conditions. The current F-18s saw their first action in Operation Desert Storm after replacing the venerable F-4 Phantom.[82][83]

Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadrons

VMGR squadrons operate the KC-130 Hercules tanker/transport. Their primary missions are aerial refuelling and rapid ground refuelling, transportation of personnel and cargo to include MEDEVACs and parachute insertions, flying the airborne version of the Direct Air Support Center (DASC) and emergency resupply into unimproved landing zones.[100][101][102]

VMR squadrons provide Search and Rescue support as well as movement of key personnel and critical logistics support around the world. They also provide movement of high priority passengers and cargo during wartime in support of operations and other critical commitments. [108]

Unmanned Aerial Systems

Marine Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Squadrons

VMUs operate the RQ-7 Shadow unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) which provides Marine ground forces with information, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance. They also provide artillery spotting and can assist in search and rescue operations[109][110]. Since 2004, the VMU squadrons have also been operating the ScanEagle UAV which is newer, provides longer endurance and can work at higher altitudes. [111]. All of these systems will eventually be replaced by the Vertical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle[112]. which is currently being developed to meet the future Tier III requirements of the Marine Corps[113]. Due to the high operational tempo of the VMU squadrons in recent years, the Marine Corps is going to stand up two new UAV squadrons, VMU-3 in 2008 and VMU-4 in 2011[9].
