“E” is for EA-6B Prowler – The primary mission of the EA-6B Prowler is suppression of enemy air defenses in support of strike aircraft and ground troops by interrupting enemy electronic activity and obtaining tactical electronic intelligence within the combat area. U.S. Marine Corps Prowlers are equipped with five tactical jamming pods, electronic surveillance systems, radar-seeking High-Speed Anti-Radiation Missiles, non-kinetic fire systems that leave electronic equipment disabled but intact, and countermeasures that mask the approach of nearby ground-attack aircraft. The aircraft has been involved in every American conflict since the Vietnam War.
2nd MAW has the last two units that operate the EA-6B Prowler: Marine Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 2 and Marine Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 3.
