Officially Licensed MAS-6 Det B Lighthouse Stickers — The Marine Air Support Detachment Guiding Aircraft to the Fight

Det B is the lighthouse that guides Marine aircraft to where the ground Marines need them most.

Marine Air Support Squadron 6 (MASS-6) provides the direct air support coordination that connects Marine aircraft with the ground forces they support. MASS squadrons operate the Direct Air Support Center (DASC), which is the critical command and control node that manages close air support requests from ground units and coordinates the delivery of air assets — fighters, attack helicopters, tiltrotor aircraft, and unmanned systems — to the Marines on the ground who need them. Detachment B represents a deployed element of MASS-6, operating forward with the ground combat element to provide the real-time air support coordination that makes Marine aviation responsive to the rifleman's needs. The lighthouse imagery on this sticker captures the detachment's role perfectly — guiding aircraft through the fog of war to deliver ordnance and support exactly where it's needed. MASS squadrons are part of the Marine Air Command and Control System (MACCS), the network of command and control agencies that ensures Marine aviation assets are employed effectively in support of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force. Without MASS and the DASC, the close air support that defines Marine aviation would not be possible.

Perfect For: MASS-6 Marines past and present, DASC operators and air support coordinators, Marine Air Command and Control community members, and anyone who has served in the aviation command and control system.
