History



World War II


Marine Aircraft Group 93 was commissioned on 1 April 1944 at Marine Corps Auxiliary Airfield Bogue, North Carolina.[2] In July 1944, the group's mission changed to that of organizing and training replacement personnel for combat.[3] A month later, in August 1944, the group moved to Marine Corps Air Station Eagle Mountain Lake, Texas and took control of the squadrons that formally belonged to Marine Aircraft Group 33 as it departed for duty in the Pacific Theater.[4] The group remained in this role for the remainder of the war. Following the surrender of Japan, the group was deactivated in October 1945.[5]
