MAG 13

Marine Aircraft Group 13 (MAG-13) is a United States Marine Corps aviation unit activated on March 1, 1942, during World War II. Initially established at San Diego, California, MAG-13 participated in key campaigns in the Pacific Theater, including operations in the Solomon Islands and the Philippines. After World War II, the unit was deactivated but later reactivated and played significant roles in the Vietnam War, providing close air support and conducting air interdiction missions. Today, MAG-13 is based at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona, and operates as part of the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, supporting Marine Air-Ground Task Force operations with advanced fixed-wing aircraft.
