- WHIDBEY ISLAND, WASH. (NWSA)
- -- Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron (VAQ) 142 will be reestablished April 3 at Naval
Air Station Whidbey Island, Wash. VADM Brent Bennitt, commander Naval Air Force, U.S.
Pacific Fleet, is the scheduled guest speaker. In 1994, DOD decided to replace the Air
Force's aging EF-111A Raven with more EA-6B squadrons to meet all services' airborne
electronic warfare needs. The squadron will operate primarily in direct support of an Air
Force Composite Wing when it becomes operational in 1998. The squadron will have 23 Navy
officers, four Air Force officers and nearly 150 enlisted personnel. Although their first
deployment will be land-based, the squadron will maintain carrier qualifications and the
flexibility to operate from the sea. The EA-6B is a high-performance, electronic combat
aircraft that detects and jams enemy radar, communications and associated electronic
emitters. Originally established in 1988, VAQ-142 deployed with Carrier Air Wing 6 aboard
USS Forrestal (CV-59) to the Mediterranean Sea in 1989-90. In 1991, the squadron changed
missions and became VAQ-35 with a fleet training support role. VAQ-35 sent more than 40
detachments to 16 locations around the world. It was disestablished in October 1993 and
its mission was absorbed by reserve squadrons on the East and West Coasts. The squadron
will stand-up under the command of CDR Patrick D. Keller.
