Stood up following the revolution that first toppled the Erusean Monarchy, the Rawhides always found themselves on the frontier lands. Rarely stationed at conventional bases, the unit became exceptional at field maintenance and consistently exceeded readiness goals, even during war time.
During the Continental War in 2004, the Squadron would be deployed to the captured Istas Fortress, and would mount a costly defense of the base against ISAF Air Raids until forced to retreat by the approaching army. While most of the unit would be captured along with its surviving aircraft, it would remain active through the transition period with the return of the Monarchy.
In 2019, during the Lighthouse War, the unit would once again find themselves deployed in harsh conditions, this time protecting the vital supply base in Roca Roja, Eastern Usea. Following Operation One Pair, the squadron would be depleted by the Osean Counter-Air that had been sent in the strike.
