HMH-777

Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 777 (HMH-777), also known as "The Lone Star Squadron," is a United States Marine Corps Reserve helicopter unit. Originally activated during the Vietnam War era, HMH-777 provided heavy-lift support with CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopters, participating in training and operational deployments to support Marine Corps missions. The squadron was deactivated in the early 1970s as part of force reductions, but its legacy was revived in the 21st century when HMH-777 was reactivated in the Marine Forces Reserve. Today, the squadron operates the CH-53E Super Stallion, continuing its mission of providing heavy-lift capability in support of Marine Corps operations.
