The MUH-1s, the Marine version of the KUH-1 Surion developed by Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), represent the first major aircraft possessed by the 28,800-strong troops since they were integrated into the Navy in 1973.
The Marine Corps has since relied on the assets of the Navy, the Army and the Air Force to transport its service members and equipment.
The MUH-1 has been nicknamed Marineon, a combination of the words Marine and Surion.
