The Marine Corps Air-Ground Museum was located at Brown Field, Marine Corps Base Quantico, Quantico, Virginia. It housed a wide variety of historic Marine Corps vehicles/tanks (both wheeled and tracked), equipment, artillery pieces and aircraft (both fixed wing (airplanes) and rotary wing (helicopters)) to trace the evolution and significance of the Marine Air-Ground Team.[1] It also contained several pieces of foreign equipment, such as a Soviet SU-76M self-propelled howitzer.[2] The museum closed on November 15, 2002 during the establishment of the National Museum of the Marine Corps.
