VRC-40

Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 40 (VRC-40), known as the "Rawhides," was established in July 1960 and is based at Naval Air Station Norfolk, Virginia. The squadron provides Carrier Onboard Delivery (COD) services, primarily operating the Grumman C-2A Greyhound to transport personnel, mail, and high-priority cargo to and from deployed aircraft carriers. Over the decades, VRC-40 has played a crucial role in supporting U.S. Navy operations worldwide, including during major conflicts and humanitarian missions. The Rawhides are recognized for their safety record and operational excellence, ensuring vital logistics links between the fleet and shore commands.
