Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 352 (VMGR-352) -also known as the 'Raiders' - is stationed at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Miramar in San Diego California. The unit, which operates 14 Lockheed Martin KC-130J tanker/transports, is one of three active-duty US Marine Corps KC-130J squadrons; the others are VMGR-152 at MCAS Iwakuni in Japan and VMGR-252 at MCAS Cherry Point in North Carolina, which operate 15 and 14 aircraft respectively. The Raiders are part of Marine Aircraft Group 11 (MAG-11) of the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (3rd MAW), which exists to provide combat-ready and self-sufficient expeditionary aviation forces capable of deployment anywhere in the world at short notice as part of a Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF).
