The Wizards have a rich history that spans the evolution of carrier-based electronic warfare from the Vietnam era through the Global War on Terror and into the most advanced jamming operations in the world. VAQ-133 was established during the Cold War period and has deployed aboard multiple aircraft carriers, flying first the EA-6B Prowler and then transitioning to the EA-18G Growler. The Growler is the most advanced electronic warfare aircraft in any navy, capable of jamming enemy radar and communications, suppressing integrated air defense systems with AGM-88 HARM and AARGM missiles, and providing tactical electronic support to the carrier air wing and joint force. In late 2024, VAQ-133, deployed aboard USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72), made history by becoming the first squadron in the United States Navy to deploy with the ALQ-249 Next-Generation Jammer — the most significant upgrade to the Navy's airborne electronic attack capability in decades. The Next-Generation Jammer replaces the legacy ALQ-99 jamming system that has been in service since the Vietnam War, providing dramatically increased power, bandwidth, and agility against modern and next-generation threats. During the same deployment, EA-18G Growlers from the Abraham Lincoln strike group scored the Growler's first air-to-air kill by downing a Houthi drone and destroyed a Houthi Mi-24 Hind helicopter on the ground with an AARGM during operations in the Red Sea.

The squadron has shepherded every major variant of the Hawkeye into fleet service—from the E-2B in 1970 and E-2C in 1973 through the E-2C Group II with APS-145 radar and GPS in 1994, to the revolutionary E-2D Advanced Hawkeye beginning in 2012. VAW-120 also created the Navy's first C-2A night carrier qualification program in 1985, received the first 8-bladed propeller C-2A upgrade in 2010, and responded to the September 11 attacks by launching homeland defense surveillance and communication relay missions along the East Coast. In 2019, the squadron took delivery of the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye with aerial refueling capability, achieving its 1,000th aerial refueling contact by April 2020.

The squadron earned the 1991 AEW Excellence Award as the Navy's finest E-2C squadron. VAW-124 continued its distinguished service through operations over Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan (OEF), and Iraq, and in 2014 provided tactical command and control during the initial strikes of Operation Inherent Resolve against ISIS.
