History 

HMR-768 was activated 15 September 1958 at NAS Brooklyn, New York, and was based at Floyd Bennett Field. In 1962 the squadron was redesignated HMM-768. HMM-768 won the Marine Air Reserve Training Command's Safety Award in 1965 and again in 1966.

After sharing aircraft with Naval Reserve units, HMM-768 got its own UH-34Ds in July 1967; in March 1971 the squadron converted to the CH-46A.

HMM-768 relocated to NAS Lakehurst, New Jersey during October 1970. At the time of its deactivation in 1976, the squadron was based at NAS New Orleans.
