Helicopter Support Team

Helicopter Support Teams (HSTs) are a cornerstone of modern military and humanitarian operations. Their ability to manage helicopter logistics, ensure safety, and adapt to diverse scenarios makes them indispensable in achieving mission objectives. From battlefield resupply to emergency evacuations, HSTs enhance operational capability and effectiveness in a wide range of missions.

The Helicopter Support Team provides a heavy lifting capability to the Marines and Sailors of 1st Marline Logistics Group operating in remote locations to receive or export supplies quickly, expanding 1st MLG’s capability to support itself for longer periods in austere expeditionary environments.
