 HMM-163 Details

HMM-163 		HMR(L)-163, the predecessor to HMM-163, was formed in December of 1951.  Since that time, its Marines, Sailors and aircraft have flown in continuous support of the United States and Allied operations throughout the Pacific and Central Command Theaters.  The squadron's nickname, "Ridge Runners", was bestowed as a result of typhoon rescue and relief operations in the mountainous terrain surrounding Hagman, Japan.
