Marine Attack Training Squadron 202 (VMAT(AW)-202), also known as the "Sharpshooters," was a United States Marine Corps aviation training squadron. Established in 1986 at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, the unit was responsible for training aircrews to operate the Grumman A-6E Intruder, an all-weather attack aircraft. VMAT(AW)-202 played a crucial role in preparing Marine aviators and flight officers for operational assignments until the Intruder was retired from Marine Corps service in the early 1990s. The squadron was deactivated in 1994, marking the end of Marine Corps A-6 Intruder training.
