Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 363 (VMM-363) is a U.S. Marine Corps tiltrotor squadron consisting of MV-22B Ospreys. The squadron, known as the “Lucky Red Lions,” is based at MCAS Miramar and falls under the command of Marine Aircraft Group 16 (MAG-16) and the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing.
The 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing’s mission is to provide combat-ready expeditionary aviation forces capable of short-notice worldwide deployment to Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF), fleet and unified commanders, as well as to provide assault support of combat troops, supplies and equipment during amphibious operations and subsequent operations ashore.
Routinely, VMM squadrons provide the foundation for an aviation combat element (ACE) of any level Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) mission that may include conventional assault support tasks and special operations.
