A longtime component of the Maritime Defense Force Reserve, VF-181 'Rough Riders' now stands as one of the final F-14 Squadrons in Osea. With the pending retirement of the type, the Rough Riders have the inevitable task of not only being one of the final deployable reservist Squadrons in the OMDF, But also taking on Foreign Military Training for the F-14 following the Fleet Replacement Squadron, VF-228 reclassification into a deployable unit in 2017, before its eventual total loss during the Lighthouse War in 2019. Since then, the Airmen of VF-181 Have been busy, regardless of full or part-time status, They all seek to preserve the legacy of the Rough Riders until the very end.
