This history of HMM-161, one of the oldest helicopter squadrons in
the Marine Corps, is part of the Marine Corps History and Museums
Division's effort to bring to light the achievements and
contributions made by individual squadrons to Marine aviation.
Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 161 has distinguished itself
throughout its history. The squadron is noted for its work in
developing the helicopter as a tactical tool for the Marine Corps
and its ability to accomplish its mission regardless of the
circumstances. Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 161 enjoys a rich
heritage, steeped in tradition, which was created through years of
hard work and dedicated service. As a neophyte in Korea, HMR-161
tested the Marine Corps' newly developed concept of vertical
assault during many landing exercises while continuing to support
the 1st Marine Division. Flying in the rugged mountains of Korea,
HMR-161 proved that helicopters could survive in combat and
effectively carry out their mission of supporting the ground
troops.
