The squadron has operated various aircraft over its history, including the C-9B Skytrain II and, more recently, the C-40A Clipper. VR-2's missions have supported operations in peacetime and during major conflicts, ensuring rapid and reliable logistical connections for U.S. forces globally.

Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 48 (VR-48), also known as the "Capital Express," is a United States Navy Reserve squadron based at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland. Established in 1978, VR-48 provides worldwide air logistics support using a fleet of C-40A Clipper aircraft.

In 1951, VS-914 was activated for federal service in response to increasing global tensions, operating from NAS Floyd Bennett Field in New York. The squadron contributed to coastal defense and anti-submarine warfare training before being deactivated and returned to reserve status in the mid-1950s.
