This history is one of a series being prepared by the History and
Museums Division to bring to light the achievements and
contributions of individual squadrons to Marine aviation. Marine
Observation Squadron 6 distinguished itself throughout a period
which spanned nearly five decades and three major conflicts, but
its most significant contribution to Marine aviation was its
pioneering use of helicopters in combat. This history is written to
provide a concise operational narrative about a distinguished
Marine Corps unit. Marine Observation Squadron 6's wide variety of
experiences closely parallels the larger story of Marine aviation.
From the 1920s through the Vietnam era, VM0-6 provided the kind of
outstanding air support Marines have come to expect.

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.
