OLF Seagle is named in honor of Capt. Jeb F. Seagle, USMCR, who posthumously received the Navy Cross for gallantry during the Grenada invasion.

VMU-1 conducts flight operations from Outlying Field Seagle, located southwest of the Expeditionary Airfield. VMU-1 operates and maintains unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems to provide unmanned aerial reconnaissance support to the Marine Air Ground Task Force. The unit currently flies the Pioneer UAV and provides ground commanders with flexible, on-call intelligence support. These remotely piloted UAVs carry electro-optic and infrared cameras that provide high-quality imagery both day and night. The unit is the primary test bed for new UAVs in the Marine Corps, and its Marines are actively involved in the operational testing and evaluation of the next generation of UAVs.
