HML-267

Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 267 (HMLA-267), originally activated as Marine Observation Squadron 6 (VMO-6) in 1944, has a storied history of providing close air support, armed reconnaissance, and utility support for the United States Marine Corps. The unit has participated in major conflicts such as the Korean War, the Vietnam War, Operations Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom, and Enduring Freedom, adapting through multiple aircraft transitions from observation planes to helicopters. Redesignated as HML-267 in 1966, and later as HMLA-267, the squadron now operates the AH-1Z Viper and UH-1Y Venom helicopters. Based at Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton, California, HMLA-267 continues to serve as a premier light attack helicopter squadron, supporting Marine Air Ground Task Force operations worldwide.
