HMLA-367 traditionally spent six of each eighteen months in Okinawa rotating with three other squadrons. However, with the current situation in the Middle East, they now share seven-month rotations with two other squadrons -- HMLA-169 and HMLA-369 -- in Iraq. Based at Camp Pendleton, the squadron supports major exercises and deploys for training frequently at Twenty-nine Palms, MCAS Yuma and NAF El Centro. Their primary mission is Close Air Support, but HMLA-367 also frequently supports higher headquarters by transporting VIPs, and assists both the military and civilian communities with its Casualty Evacuation capability. Its historical lineage can be traced back to December 1, 1943 when it was activated at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia as VMO-351, which was assigned to the Artillery Spotting Division. HMLA-367 curently fields a mix of nine UH-1N Hueys and eighteen AH-1W Super Cobras all with the Night Targeting System (NTS). Those airframes will be replaced in 2 to 4 years with 4 bladed versions -- the UH-1Y Venom and AH-1Z Viper.
