MATCS-38
US Marine Corps unit / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marine Air Traffic Control Squadron 38 (MATCS-38) was a United States Marine Corps aviation command and control squadron responsible for providing continuous, all-weather air traffic control services for the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing throughout the West Coast of the United States. MATCS-38 was formed by consolidating four, regionally aligned Marine Air Traffic Control Units under one flag to better integrate them with the Marine Air Command and Control System. The squadron was headquartered at Marine Corps Air Station Tustin, California and fell under the command of Marine Air Control Group 38. MATCS-38 was decommissioned in September 1994 and its air traffic control function were transferred to Marine Air Control Squadron 1. Since its decommissioning, no other squadron has carried the lineage and honors of MATCS-38.
