Deactivated in November 1969, Prov MAG-39 was dramatically reactivated on 19 April 1975 aboard USS Blue Ridge for Operation Frequent Wind — the largest helicopter evacuation in history — rescuing 7,000 American citizens, South Vietnamese, and foreign nationals from Saigon. Permanently reactivated on 1 September 1978 at Camp Pendleton under the 3rd MAW, MAG-39 has since supported Operations Desert Storm, Restore Hope in Somalia, Iraqi Freedom, and Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan.
