  • Marine Wing Support Squadron 272
    LTCOL TERRENCE O’CONNELL SGTMAJ WILLIAM McCoy MARINE WING SUPPORT SQUADRON 272 Marine Wing Support Squadron 272 was activated on June 6, 1986 at Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina. MWSS- 272 was organized from the assets of Marine Air Base Squadron 26, Marine Air Base Squadron 29 and Detachment “A”, Marine Wing Support Group 27, which were deactivated on 5 June 1986. Since 1992 MWSS-272 has provided essential engineer services to 2D Marine Aircraft Wing (MAW) by conducting horizontal and vertical construction, providing bulk fuel services, significant utility support, and Motor Heavy Equipment (MHE) support. The engi- neers of MWSS-272 also specialize in K-Span construction with the ABM and UBM, Rapid Runway Repair (RRR), soil stabilization/ dust abatement, Base Recovery After Attack (BRAAT), and Air Base Ground Defense (ABGD). In July 1993, MWSS-272, the Untouchables, spearheaded the total restoration of Landing Zone Bluebird by removing 166, 272 square feet of weathered matting, extensive earth work improvements, soil stabilization, and re-laying of 158, 976 square feet of matting. This project was completed ahead of schedule through exceptional efforts by Combat Engineers and Heavy Equipment operators. In September 1993, the squadron’s engineers extracted an AV-8 Harrier as part of an aircraft recovery mission aboard Camp Lejeune, NC. This fundamental mission is called upon MHE operators in OEF and OIF today. In 1999, MWSS-272 supported a New Horizons Humanitarian Civic Assistance (HCA) exercise in the Chaco region of southeastern Bolivia. MWSS-272 engineers were part of 240 U.S. military engineers who formed “Combined Task Force Chaco” to build schools, expanded a medical clinic, dig wells, improved roads, built a base camp in the town of Boyuibe.

They consisted of Budget & Finance, Promotion & Publicity, Newsletter, Program, Membership, Technical Support, Technical Library, Food Service, Social, Hospitality, Equipment & Furnishings. Directors headed most of these committees. - Each director was responsible for specific monthly program assignments. - Hangar Manager began handling both hangar rents and facility oversight. - A coat of asphalt sealer was applied to the ramps around the hangars. - Decided to close down the YE program due to lack of volunteers. No one would volunteer to help on the ramp to park planes and keep the kids from getting hit with a propeller. There had been escalating safety issues. But the last straw was when a pair of children ran in front of a taxiing board member (with 2 young children aboard). YAC program had to be shut down as well – no help to help transport kids. - Hangar bash cancelled due to lack of volunteers. One Saturday they didn’t have lunch because of lack of volunteers. - Fans were put up over the cooking area – a requirement of the Health Dept. - Officers/Assignments: President: Dayton Smith; Vice-President: Roger Trickett; Secretary: Joe Russo; Treasurer: Dennis Cullum/Jack Thomson; Newsletter Editor: Kerry Powell; Hangar Manager: Bill Moore; Young Eagles: Darrell Oge/Andy Silver Events - Some of the program topics: formless, composite aircraft, presentation by BFAP to update the Chapter on where it stands in relation to the proposal to develop Brown Field into a cargo port.
