Marine Wing Support Group (MWSG) status as of Summer 2012?

• A. Reorganized into MWSS.
• B. Disbanded and each squadron assigned directly to supported MAG.
• C. MWSG remained intact under MAG.
• D. Became part of MWSS.

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is a historical shift in how Marine aviation support was commanded. In Summer 2012, the Marine Corps disbanded the Marine Wing Support Group as a separate command and moved its MWSS units to report directly to the Marine Aircraft Groups they support. This eliminated the intermediate group level and placed direct oversight of airfield and aviation support functions under the MAG, improving responsiveness and unity of effort for the aviation mission. That’s why the correct choice describes each MWSS being assigned directly to its supported MAG. The other possibilities describe changes that did not occur, such as converting the group into a MWSS, keeping the group intact, or having the group become part of MWSS.
