Introduced in the 1960s, it supported carrier operations from the Vietnam era through the Gulf War, Iraq, Afghanistan, and later global deployments.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nC-2 operations were mainly handled by Fleet Logistics Support Squadrons. VRC-30 “Providers,” based at NAS North Island, supported West Coast and Pacific carrier operations until 2023, when its remaining C-2 aircraft were transferred to VRC-40.
