VAW-115's history is deeply rooted in over 44 years of persistent
presence in the Western Pacific region. The "Liberty Bells"
supported combat operations in Vietnam and the Middle East,
conducted presence operations at the "tip of the spear' in the
Pacific, played a large role in several humanitarian missions, and
forged incredible partnerships with our Pacific region allies. The
legacy of excellence, honed while forward deployed, continues today
as VAW-115 begins a new chapter while assigned in the Continental
U.S. to Carrier Air Wing ELEVEN. The Liberty Bells initially flew the E-2A Hawkeye, and were assigned to CVW-2 onboard the USS Ranger. After transitioning to the E-2B variant, VAW-115 shifted to CVW-5 on board the USS Midway (CV-41), where the squadron participated in two combat deployments in the Gulf of Tonkin between May 1971 and April 1973. In September 1973, the Midway moved to Yokosuka, Japan, as the only continuously forward deployed U.S. Navy Airborne Early Warning platform. From the late 1970s throughout the 1980s, VAW-115 made eleven deployments to the Indian Ocean and North Arabian Sea, a period which saw such tumultuous events as the Iranian seizure of the American Embassy in Tehran. In response to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, VAW-115 deployed to the Persian Gulf in October 1990 as part of Operation Desert Shield. In January 1991, Desert Shield transitioned to Desert Storm and saw VAW-115 flying 179 combat sorties. In August of that same year, CVW-5 transitioned from the USS Midway to the USS Independence (CV-62). Throughout the rest of the 1990s, the USS Independence was called on numerous times to participate in operations in the Persian Gulf. These missions involved controlling No-Fly Zones over Iraq and supporting United Nations' sanctions. In 1998, the Liberty Bells transitioned with the rest of CVW-5 to the USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63). VAW-115 did not see the Persian Gulf again until 2003, when they flew over 350 hours in support of Operation Southern Watch and Operation Iraqi Freedom. In 2011, the squadron provided command and control support of Operation Tomodachi after a 9.0 magnitude earthquake and ensuing tsunami devastated Japan. In November 2013, VAW-115 flew more than 80 hours in support of Operation Damayan, the multi-national response to the devastation caused by Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. The Liberty Bells provided command and control infrastructure for the US military and Philippine government while coordinating the delivery of 1,000,000 pounds of water, 600,000 pounds of food, 2,800 pounds of medical supplies, and transportation of 6,552 evacuees and relief workers. As a result of their invaluable contributions to the relief effort, VAW-115 received a meritorious unit citation and all participating crew received the humanitarian service medal. In the first half of 2017, following decades of operations out of Atsugi, Japan, the Liberty Bells prepared for a historic homeport change back into the continental United States. During this transition, VAW-115 led efforts to plan and integrate VAW-125, the first E-2D squadron, into their new operating area at MCAS Iwakuni, Japan. After months of preparation, VAW-115 transited the Pacific Ocean aboard the USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) with four E-2C aircraft and 147 personnel, arriving at Naval Base Ventura County, Point Mugu, CA in June of 2017. While entering the maintenance phase, the Liberty Bells immediately started work on rebuilding E-2C Hawkeye aircraft for the community, and delivered a combat-ready Hawkeye to VAW-116 one month after completing their homeport change. VAW-115 had the privilege of flying Chief of Naval Air Forces in one of these long term down aircraft, now in a fully mission capable status. In February 2018, the Liberty Bells joined CVW-11. Following shortly after a change of command, the squadron participated in joint air interoperability exercises Neptune Falcon and Neptune Hawk, operating with a diverse group of air platforms. The Liberty Bells then transitioned to participating in its first full Fleet Readiness Training Program. This included HARP events as well as Strike Fighter Advanced Readiness Program (SFARP) Air-to-Ground in Fallon, NV, where the squadron achieved more than 75 flight hours and a 94% sortie completion rate. Rolling right out of the successes in Nevada, VAW-115 completed two weeks worth of Field Carrier Landing Practice in preparation for its carrier qualifications aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71). While aboard the squadron requalified ten pilots, flew over 60 hours, completed 29 sorties including multiple cyclical ops, and had 56 successful arrested landings all over the course of five fly days. Following CQ, VAW-115 blazed new trails by orchestrating a proof of concept evolution involving ground refueling from a KC-130, simulating operating in an expeditionary mindset. This evolution could pave the way for future expeditionary modifications to the Hawkeye platform. In 2022, VAW-115 accepted ownership of its first E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, Aerial Refueling mod aircraft, the Navy's most advanced all-weather, carrier-based, tactical battle management, airborne early warning, and command and control aircraft. source: VAW-115 - - - - - another history: The squadron was originally established on 20 April 1967, flying the E-2A Hawkeye. It was assigned to Attack Carrier Wing Two and deployed on board USS Ranger. VAW-115 transitioned to the E-2B and joined CVW-5 in 1971 and made two combat deployments to the Gulf of Tonkin between May 1971 and April 1973 on board USS Midway. In September 1973, CVW-5 moved to Yokosuka, Japan as a component of the Forward Deployed Naval Forces, and the only air wing home ported outside the continental United States. VAW-115 E-2B Hawkeyes performed a command and control role in Operation Frequent Wind, supporting the evacuation of Saigon in April 1975. VAW-115 made eleven deployments to the Indian Ocean and North Arabian Sea, a period which saw such tumultuous events as the Iranian seizure of the American Embassy in Tehran. In 1983, VAW-115 participated in rescue and salvage operations following the Korean Air Lines Flight 007 shootdown. Two years later, the squadron received the E-2C and supported Freedom of Navigation operations, both for USS Oldendorf in the Sea of Japan and for Operation Earnest Will, protecting Kuwaiti re-flagged tankers through the Straits of Hormuz. During the 1989-90 deployments with the Midway Battle Group, the squadron and their E-2C Hawkeyes participated in Operation Classic Resolve, supporting the democratic government of the Philippines against a coup attempt. In response to the Iraqi Invasion of Kuwait, VAW-115 deployed to the Persian Gulf in October 1990 as part of Operation Desert Shield. In January 1991, Desert Shield transitioned to Desert Storm and saw VAW-115 flying 179 combat sorties. In August 1991, USS Midway was decommissioned and CVW-5 embarked on USS Independence. During the ensuing years, the squadron deployed to the Persian Gulf four times in support of Operation Southern Watch, enforcing a No-Fly Zone over the skies of southern Iraq. In January 1998, VAW-115 and the Independence Battle Group were called upon to participate in various Persian Gulf contingency operations in support of United Nations sanctions. After transitioning to the E-2C Group II Navigation Upgrade aircraft, VAW-115 cross-decked with CVW-5 to USS Kitty Hawk in mid 1998. In February 2003, the squadron was once again called to the Persian Gulf to support Operation Southern Watch and flew 46 combat sorties until the commencement of Operation Iraqi Freedom in March 2003. During that operation, the squadron flew 363.8 hours in support of Army and Marine Corps units on the ground. In the years that followed, VAW-115 participated in exercises such as Valiant Shield, Malabar, and Talisman Saber as well as Exercises Annualex and Keen Sword with the Japanese Air and Maritime Self Defense Forces. VAW-115 took part in joint and multi-national RIMPAC 2008, providing Airborne Battle Space Command and Control to 49 naval vessels, 150 aircraft, and 29 other foreign and U.S. units from 10 participating countries. In February 2010 the squadron began reequipping with the E-2C Hawkeye 2000. The improved E-2C Hawkeye 2000 carries advanced capabilities over its predecessor in the areas of detection, processing, identification, communication and navigation. VAW-115 has achieved 24 years and 50,000 hours of Class-A mishap-free flight hours receiving eight Battle Efficiency "E" awards, seven AEW Excellence awards, and six Safety "S" awards. On 2 February 2017, VAW-125 arrived at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan to replace VAW-115 in Carrier Air Wing Five aboard the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan. In the summer of 2017 the squadron moved to Naval Air Station Point Mugu, where it will eventually transition to the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye. In 2019, the squadron was redesignated Airborne Command & Control Squadron from Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron. source: wikipedia |
