Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 365 (HMM-365), known as the "Blue Knights," was activated on July 1, 1961. Initially flying the Sikorsky H-34, the unit later transitioned to the CH-46 Sea Knight, supporting Marine Corps operations with assault support and troop transport missions. HMM-365 distinguished itself during the Vietnam War and later participated in numerous operations, including peacekeeping and humanitarian missions worldwide. In 2008, the squadron was redesignated as VMM-365 with the introduction of the MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft, continuing its legacy of excellence in expeditionary aviation.
