VMT-18 — Marine helicopter training in the early days of rotary-wing aviation.
VMT-18 was a Marine Training squadron involved in helicopter training during the formative years of Marine rotary-wing aviation. As the Marine Corps embraced helicopter warfare in the 1950s and 1960s, training squadrons like VMT-18 were essential for producing the pilots who would revolutionize battlefield mobility. Marine helicopter training squadrons developed the tactics, techniques, and procedures for assault transport, medevac, and close air support that would be tested and proven in Vietnam and every conflict that followed.
