Marine Scout Bombing Squadrons

Scout bombing squadrons each had eighteen to twenty-four SBD Dauntless dive bombers and were tasked with conducting dive-bombing attacks and long range scouting and patrol missions. They also provided close air support, laid smoke screens and sprayed DDT around bases. The majority of these squadrons were quickly deactivated following the end of World War II although three entered the Marine Air Reserve for a short period.
