HSC-2 was established as the second squadron designated Helicopter Combat Support Squadron TWO (HC-2) on 1 April 1987 from components of several helicopter squadrons, specifically; HC-6’s Atlantic Fleet VIP det flying the VH-3A Sea King, HM-12’s Vertical Onboard Delivery (VOD) det flying the CH-53E Super Stallion, and HS-1’s Sea Det flying the SH-3G Sea King in support of the Commander U.S. 6th Fleet in Gaeta Italy and the Commander Middle East Force (what would eventually become 5th Fleet) in Manama Bahrain. The Manama detachment was affectionately known as the “Desert Ducks”.[1] HC-2 provided detachments to the Persian Gulf in 1990 and 1991 in support of Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, conducting search and rescue, medical evacuation, and prisoner transportation flights, as well as assisting in the search for naval mines and providing other assistance to the fleet.
