Marine Wing Support Squadrons have always been on the forefront of Marine operations in any theater. They build and maintain the bases we operate, provide security, medical, and transportation assets to everyone, and feed those on base as well. They have many jobs, and all of them are dedicated to keeping the Marines fighting in the field. Every Marine may be a rifleman, but it is the support elements that give other riflemen the ability to take the fight to the enemy and then return to a secure home with hot food, cold drink, and warm smiles. They bring a piece of America to every world we operate on. We needed them when we invaded the Hyades Cluster.
