The Navy Mustang Association was originally started in 1989 by Mustangs in the Washington D.C. area interested in having a social and professional organization for limited duty and warrant officers.
By 1994 Mustangs all over the world were joining the Washington Organization. The Board of Directors, believing the time had come to provide better support and direction outside the local area, made provisions for a national Organization governed by a Board of Directors and for the establishment of chapters.
