MATCU 66

Marine Air Traffic Control Unit 66 (MATCU-66) was a United States Marine Corps aviation command and control unit activated during the Vietnam War. Established in the 1960s, MATCU-66 was responsible for providing air traffic control and airspace management for Marine aviation assets in combat zones, notably supporting operations at various airfields in South Vietnam. The unit played a vital role in ensuring the safe and efficient movement of aircraft during critical combat missions and resupply operations. MATCU-66 was eventually deactivated as part of the post-war drawdown, but its contributions to Marine Corps aviation command and control remain significant in military history.
