Notes for VP and Non-Carrier Based Squadron Deployments to Vietnam (1964-1972) and Tail Codes:
1.Date In and Date Out are normally the dates the squadron arrived and departed from the air station or base it operated from during its deployment.
2. Squadron detachment numbers or letters are not listed. There were numerous changes and rotation of patrol squadron aircraft and crews from the squadron’s
main base of operation during its deployment.A squadron’s detachment was usually identified by using the name of the base the detachment was operating from. Some
of the squadrons that deployed to Vietnam did not have or use detachments.
3.In some cases specific dates for the squadron or its detachments were not known or could not be determined from official sources.
4.The following is a list of tail codes for the VP and other non-carrier based squadrons deploying to Vietnam:

Operations by CVW-6 Aircraft
CVW-6 aircraft embarked on Independence flew
SAR (Search and Rescue), MEDEVAC (Medical
Evacuation), CAP (Combat Air Patrol), reconnaissance,
close air support and SSSC (Surface, Sub-surface
Search Coordination) missions.
Attack squadrons conducted daily surgical bombing
missions (close air support) to quell enemy resistance,
as well as reconnaissance missions. The following is a
list of their activities:
VA-15 flew 143 combat sorties during Operation
Urgent Fury.
VA-176 flew 350 combat flight hours during
Operational Urgent Fury (the number of combat sor-
ties is not listed).
VA-87 flew close air support combat missions during
Operation Urgent Fury. The specific number of combat
sorties was not identified.
The mission of Operation Urgent Fury, as stated by
Admiral Wesley L. McDonald, while testifying before
the Senate Committee on Armed Services on 3
November 1983, was to “protect and/or evacuate
American citizens, to provide stability for the area, and
at the invitation of the Organization of Eastern
Caribbean States, to help establish a government
which would be more democratic in nature than the
existing government which had taken over rather rig-
orously and had placed the country into complete iso-
lation for a period of four days.” Admiral McDonald
was Commander in Chief, U.S. Atlantic Command,
during the Grenada operations.
The following is a list of Naval Aviation forces (does
not include all Marine Corps aviation) participating in
the Grenada operations:

island using the TARPS (Tactical Air Reconnaissance
Pod System). VF-32 aircraft participated in the TARPS
evolution. Fighter squadron activities were as fol-
lows: 256 combat sorties flown by VF-32 in 1983
(includes sorties in Grenada and Lebanon, with no
break down on how many for each operation) and 82
combat sorties flown during Operation Urgent Fury
by VF-14.
