HMR-768 was
activated 15 September 1958 at NAS Brooklyn, New York, and was based at
Floyd Bennett Field. In 1962 the squadron was redesignated HMM-768. HMM-768
won the Marine Air Reserve Training Command's Safety Award in 1965 and again
in 1966. After sharing aircraft with Naval Reserve units, HMM-768 got its own UH-34Ds in July 1967; in March 1971 the squadron converted to the CH-46A. HMM-768 relocated to NAS Lakehurst, New Jersey during October 1970. At the time of its deactivation in 1976, the squadron was based at NAS New Orleans. |
