VA-822

Attack Squadron 822 (VA-822) was a U.S. Navy Reserve attack squadron established on July 1, 1966, during the Vietnam War era. The squadron was based at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Florida, and primarily flew the A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft. VA-822 was activated as part of the increasing demand for carrier-based attack squadrons to support operations in Southeast Asia. The unit was deactivated relatively quickly, on August 2, 1968, as the need for reserve squadrons diminished.
