Marines from Detachment 1, Combat Logistics Battalion 25 (CLB-25) recently conducted joint Helicopter Support Team (HST) training with the “Hustlers” of Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 772 (HMH-772), part of Marine Aircraft Group 49 (MAG-49), 4th Marine Aircraft Wing

The focus was on helicopter support teams (HSTs), a critical capability for expeditionary forces. HST operations enable the rapid delivery and retrieval of essential items and equipment, providing crucial logistical support over great distances. This hands-on practice not only increases the proficiency of the ground teams from CLB – 25 but also provides an invaluable opportunity for the pilots and air crew of HMH – 772 to perfect their skills. This seamless integration between air and ground units as what makes the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) so effective.

H&S Company, CLB-25, just wrapped up a demanding 4-day field operation alongside fellow companies across the battalion, reinforcing what it means to be ready when called.

From executing long-distance convoy operations, to completing a battalion hike that tested endurance and resilience, to establishing effective concealed positions - our Marines embodied discipline, cohesion, and the warfighting mindset.

Field operations are where standards are set and upheld. Every mile traveled, every position established, and every challenge faced strengthens our ability to support the fight and be ready when called.

These Marines thoroughly embodied the mentality of “adapt and overcome.” Proud of this team and our fellow CLB-25 units for their grit and commitment—always ready, always forward.
