Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station


Just 17 days before the attack on Pearl Harbor, construction began on the Marine Corps air station known as Cherry Point. Once only North Carolina swampland and forest, Cherry Point is now the world's largest Marine Corps Air Station, and home to the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing. The wing consists of six groups; four aircraft groups, flying all combat aircraft in the Marine inventory, one aircraft control group and one engineer group. MCAS Cherry Point hosts Marine Air Group 14 (MAG-14), and also serves as the host installation for Commander Marine Corps Air Bases East (COMCABEAST). MAG-14 is the primary East Coast operating unit for the Marine Corps AV-8B Harrier (four squadrons) and EA-6B Prowler (four squadrons). The Group also includes four squadrons of KC-130 tankers and an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) squadron. (Read More)
