AEROSPACE SQUADRONS
Attack squadrons (designated VA or, VMA) do light bombing missions in addition to air superiority
VMFA are dual role squadrons that fly aircraft like the KD-56 Gryphon
VMA squadrons typically fly aircraft like the A-63J Valkyrie
VMF squadrons typically fly aircraft like the F-96E Peregrine
GMA squadrons typically fly aircraft like the V-101F Veritech
If you drop the M from the designator, it becomes a Naval rather than Marine squadron
V=fixed wing
G= Variable Geometry i.e. Veritech Squadrons (Ex. GMA would be a Marine Veritech Attack Sqdrn)
D=Special Security Division craft. (Ex. VDA 311)
K=Klingon craft. (Ex. VKA 200)
M=Marine craft. (Ex. VMA 114)
R=Romulan craft. (Ex. VRA 81)
S=Special Operations Command craft. (Ex. VSA 111)
X= Experimental; a Sqdrn using or testing experimental craft (Ex. VXMA would be an Experimental Marine Attack Sqdrn)
AW= Aerospace Early Warning, this could be (Ex. VAW-904)
AQ= Electronic Warfare craft. (Ex. VAQ-814)
B= Bombing squadron.(Ex. VMB-101)
C= Close Air Support (Ex. VCA-114)
P= Reconnaissance (Ex. VP-524)
E= Composite Squadron, a Squadron having more than one type of craft or more than one mission would use this designator.
A=Attack
F= Fighter
Numbering: Typically Squadrons are not numbered sequentially or for area of operation. Primarily to prevent "Outside Agencies" or enemy forces from discovering the true number of Maquis Starfighter assets. The only "constant" in Squadron numbering is that no two Squadrons have the same number.
