Scouts Stand Down

Scouts Stand Down Sea Control Squadron 24 (VS-24) was disestablished at NAS Jacksonville, Florida, on 28 March. The event marked the end of forty-seven years of service as an Atlantic fleet carrier-based antisubmarine warfare squadron. VS-24, known as the Scouts, has been assigned to Jacksonville for thirty-four years. It was the first S-3 squadron to move to NAS Jacksonville when nearby NAS Cecil Field closed in 1997. VS-24 dates back to Bombing Squadron 17 (VB-17) that was established 1 January 1943 and flew the Curtiss SB2C-1 Helldiver dive bomber. The Scouts transitioned to the S-3A in 1976. Since moving to NAS Jacksonville, VS-24 has deployed five times, with the last deployment occurring March 2006 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
