Marine Wing Support Squadron 171 (MWSS-171)

Marine Wing Support Squadron 171 provides essential airfield services and support to Marine Aircraft Group operations. Established as part of the Marine Air Wing structure, MWSS-171 keeps aircraft flying and flight lines operational in environments ranging from permanent installations to austere expeditionary airfields. The squadron's Marines specialize in airfield operations, weather services, fire and rescue, expeditionary fuel systems, and airfield damage repair, ensuring Marine aviation maintains operational tempo regardless of conditions. MWSS-171 personnel operate in a unique space within the Marine Corps, bridging the gap between ground combat support and aviation operations. Their mission demands technical proficiency across multiple engineering and service disciplines while maintaining the readiness to deploy and operate in contested environments. Our MWSS-171 collection is built for Marines who served with the squadron and the families who supported them. Every item reflects the pride of keeping Marine Air on station and on time.
