| | VMFP-3 "Eyes of the Corp" Squadron History |
 | | Detachment ONE arrived at MCAS Iwakuni, Japan on 5 August 1975, to provide tactical reconnaissance for the 1st MAW, and the 7th Fleet when deployed aboard the USS Midway. |
 | | After spending a year at Iwakuni, Japan as part of the 1st MAW, VMCJ-3 returned to El Toro in 1959 with a new photographic aircraft, the F8U-1P. |
 | | Until February, 1975, when the last EA-6A departed for MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina, the dual capacity of the squadron was reflected by the dual qualifications of a majority of the personnel, both officer and enlisted, who served in the command. |
