Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 30 (VRC-30), also known as the “Providers”, is a United States Navy Fleet Logistics Support squadron based at Naval Air Station North Island consisting of 5 detachments.[1] VRC-30 is one of only two active, carrier-capable, Fleet Logistics Support squadrons, the other being VRC-40.
History
Fleet Logistics Support Squadron Three Zero (VRC-30), traces its ancestry to Air Transport Squadron Five (VR-5) which was established on 24 June 1943 at Naval Air Station Seattle. The squadron was tasked with flying the Douglas R4D Skytrain, Douglas R5D Skymaster, Beechcraft SNB Expeditor , and the Noorduyn JA-1 Norseman aircraft in regular air service to Seattle, Oakland, San Francisco, the Aleutian Islands, Fairbanks , and Point Barrow on the Alaskan Mainland.[2]
In 1948, the Naval Air Transportation Service and Air Transport Command merged and became the Military Air Transport Service. VR-5 was placed under the command of the newly formed MATS and assigned to the U.S. Pacific Fleet.
