MWSS-373 MCAS El Toro

Marine Wing Support Squadron 373 (MWSS-373) was activated on 1 April 1986 at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) El Toro, California, as part of Marine Wing Support Group 37, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. The squadron provided essential aviation ground support, including airfield operations, engineering, motor transport, and fuel services for Marine aviation units. During its time at MCAS El Toro, MWSS-373 played a crucial role in supporting training exercises and operational deployments, including support for Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm in the early 1990s. In 1999, following the closure of MCAS El Toro, MWSS-373 relocated to MCAS Miramar, continuing its mission of supporting Marine aviation operations.
