Established initially in 1956 as the 181st Fighter Interceptor Squadron flying F-104C Starfighters, the Unit would be active duty deploying multiple times across the world including during the Clavis Conflict. However by 1978, budgetary restrictions meant the closure of many Starfighter Squadrons and the unit would not be reactivated until 2003 when the Pacifica Air National Guard was granted a new Fighter Squadron to ensure air security around Osea's westernmost state. Flying the F-16C, the Squadron's primary area of responsibility is in the coast and outlying islands of Osea in the Pacific. The Squadron came to prominence in 2010 during the Circum Pacific War, where forward deployed members of the "Spartans' ' would run combat air patrols around more vulnerable islands, generally outside of the range of Traditional Air Bases. Today, the Squadron is hosted with the rest of the 154th Wing at Homer AFB in Pacifica City, Pacifica.
