Marine Wing Headquarters Squadron (MWHS) has what role?

• A. Provides command, administrative, and supply support for MAW HQ; a Wing asset.
• B. Provides in-flight refueling.
• C. Controls close air support.
• D. Operates base security.

Answer: (A)

MWHS provides the staff, administrative, and supply support needed to operate the MAW Headquarters. It acts as a Wing asset by enabling the MAW HQ to plan, coordinate, and sustain aviation operations—handling command-and-control staff, personnel admin, communications, and logistics for the Wing. In-flight refueling, close air support, and base security are handled by other units, not the MWHS.
