MATCU-60 MABS=15 Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni Japan

Marine Air Traffic Control Unit 60 (MATCU-60) was a specialized air traffic control detachment operating under Marine Air Base Squadron 15 (MABS-15) at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, during the Cold War era. Established to provide expeditionary air traffic control services, MATCU-60 played a crucial role in supporting Marine aviation operations, ensuring safe and efficient movement of aircraft in the region. The unit was integral to joint training exercises and operational readiness, working alongside U.S. and allied forces throughout the Western Pacific. MATCU-60 was eventually deactivated as part of Marine Corps force restructuring, with its mission and personnel absorbed into other aviation command and control units.
