[1] During the years from 1972 through 1976, H&MS-29 operated the MAG-29 Aerial Observer School and performed its primary mission as an Intermediate Maintenance and Supply support activity.

MALS-29 was a participant in Operation Desert Storm and distinguished itself with several first-time aviation logistics actions, including operating a fully functional rotary wing Intermediate Maintenance Activity aboard the SS Wright (T-AVB-3), while continuously supporting MAG-26 during the ground war.

On 22 May 1991, the squadron recalled its personnel, who were disbursed throughout the Kuwaiti theater of operations, and during June 1991, redeployed itself at MCAS New River, NC.

MALS 29 provides Intermediate Level Maintenance (second echelon), Aviation Supply, Class V Munitions / Ordnance, Aeronautical Equipment, Logistical and Information Technology products and services to the flying squadrons of Marine Aircraft Group 29 based in Jacksonville North Carolina.

The squadron developed a unique and flexible concept of logistics support while embarking personnel, equipment, and supplies aboard four L-class ships as part of Task Force Tarawa.
