Headquarters and Maintenance Squadron 13 (H&MS-13) was a United States Marine Corps aviation support unit established to provide logistical and maintenance support to Marine aircraft squadrons. Originally activated during the Vietnam War era, H&MS-13 was based at Marine Corps Air Station El Toro in California. The squadron played a critical role in ensuring the operational readiness of Marine aircraft by managing supply, avionics, and intermediate-level aircraft maintenance. In 1988, as part of a Corps-wide reorganization, H&MS-13 was redesignated as Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 13 (MALS-13), continuing its mission of aviation logistics support for Marine Aircraft Group 13.

Headquarters and Maintenance Squadron 11 (H&MS-11) was a support unit of the United States Marine Corps, originally activated during World War II. The squadron provided essential aviation logistical, maintenance, and administrative support to Marine aviation units, particularly those assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 11 (MAG-11). Throughout its history, including significant service during the Vietnam War, H&MS-11 played a vital role in ensuring the operational readiness of aircraft and equipment. The squadron was later redesignated as Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 11 (MALS-11), continuing its legacy of aviation support within the Marine Corps.
