1st Anti-Aircraft Artillery (Automatic Weapons) Battalion (1st AAA (AW) Bn) was a short lived United States Marine Corps air defense unit that was originally commissioned during the Korean War. The battalion moved to Marine Corps Base 29 Palms, California in 1953 and continued to support exercises across the Southwestern United States until it was decommissioned in June 1959. Since then, no other Marine Corps battalion has carried the lineage and honors of the 1st AAA(AW) Bn.
