Marine Air Base Squadron 13
Military unit / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marine Air Base Squadron 13 (MABS-13) was a unit of the United States Marine Corps that provided airfield services and base operations in support of Marine Aircraft Group 13. Originally commissioned overseas during World War II, MABS-13 supported combat operations during both World War II and the Vietnam War. The squadron was last based at Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, California and was decommissioned in June 1986 when the Marine Corps reorganized all of its aviation ground support units into combat formations that would train and operate the same in both peacetime and combat.[1] Since that date, no other Marine Corps squadron has carried the lineage and honors of MABS-13.
