VMM-261

Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 261 (VMM-261), known as the "Raging Bulls," was originally activated in 1951 as a helicopter transport squadron. The unit saw extensive combat service in Vietnam, providing troop transport, resupply, and medevac missions. Over the decades, VMM-261 has participated in numerous operations, including humanitarian assistance in Haiti and combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. Transitioning from CH-46 Sea Knights to MV-22B Ospreys in 2013, the squadron continues to serve as a vital aviation asset within the United States Marine Corps.
