Since their establishment on July 1, 1987, at NAS Whidbey Island, Washington, the Shadowhawks have compiled one of the most impressive combat records in electronic warfare aviation — providing critical suppression of enemy air defenses during Desert Storm, Bosnia, Kosovo, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Iraqi Freedom. The squadron achieved a 100% mission success rate during the 2003 invasion of Iraq and made history as the first Growler squadron to complete a ship-based deployment.
