Cold War

 

With escalation of the Vietnam War VMA 211 moved to Japan in 1965 and commenced the first of four deployments to the Republic of Vietnam. VMA 211 was deployed in the spring of 1972 to Naha Air Force base on Okinawa and within three months was redeployed to Bien Hoa Air Base in Viet Nam. It was the only strategic American fighting unit left in Viet Nam except for small Army Air Cav unit in Bien Hoa.

 

In August 1976 the Squadron returned to MCAS El Toro.
