MAG 15 Iwakuni Japan

Marine Aircraft Group 15 (MAG-15) was a United States Marine Corps aviation unit established during World War II. Initially commissioned in 1942, MAG-15 played a significant role in the Pacific Theater, providing air support and engaging in combat operations throughout the war. After the conflict, the unit was stationed at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, during the Korean War and the early years of the Cold War, supporting regional stability and American interests in the Asia-Pacific. MAG-15 continued to evolve with changing military needs before it was ultimately deactivated in the 1970s, leaving a legacy of service and operational excellence in Marine Corps aviation history.
