History

Early years

On 1 September 1967 Marine Wing Communications Squadron 2 was activated as a subordinate squadron of Marine Wing Headquarters Group 2. The squadron was redesignated Marine Wing Communications Squadron 28 and was assigned to Marine Air Control Group 28 on 1 July 1972.

On 21 September 1994 the squadron was again reorganized. This time the organization consisted of a headquarters and two Detachments collocated at MCAS Cherry Point.

Global War on Terror

In February, 2003, MWCS-28 deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom where they provided communications supporting the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing during the war. MWCS-28’s mission was to establish three crucial communication nodes in Iraq in support of 3d MAW command and control requirements.

During February 2004, Bravo Company, reinforced with a maintenance platoon from H&S Company, deployed to Camp Taqaddum, Iraq again in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Attached to 3d Marine Air Wing, Bravo Company provided communications support for the Marine Air Control Group agencies and numerous flying squadrons located at Camp Taqaddum as well as providing communications detachments to two Forward Operating Bases.

In January 2005 MWCS-28 again deployed to Al Asad, Iraq. MWCS-28 was tasked to provide communications for all of the 2nd Marine Air Wing's aviation command and control agencies.

In February 2011 MWCS-28 deployed to Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan. MWCS-28 was tasked to provide communications for all of the 2nd Marine Air Wing's aviation command and control Squadrons.
