The command now known as Electronic Attack Squadron ONE THREE ONE (VAQ-131) has been through several transitions since its inception in 1946. At the time, the squadron was known as reserve Patrol Squadron NINE THREE ONE (VP-931). From 1946 through 1955, VP-931 flew the P-2V Neptune. In 1956, the squadron transitioned to the Douglas A-3 Skywarrior and was re-designated Heavy Attack Squadron FOUR (VAH-4). On 1 November 1968, the squadron received the EKA-3 version of the Skywarrior and was again re-designated, this time as Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron ONE THREE ONE (VAQ-131). The EKA-3 was a TACOS aircraft, being a tanker with equipment also for electronic attack.
