The AV-8B II + is the second generation of Harriers. Using its VSTOL (Vertical and Short
Take Off Landing) abilities the Harrier is capable of using almost any surface to attack
and destroy air or ground targets. Armed with conventional or specific weapons the AV-
8B II + can be used in offensive or defensive roles. Now with air-borne radar the AV-8B II
+ can deliver its ordnance day or night. The AV-8B II + can be air refueled allowing it to
be deployed for extended periods.


USMC VMA-223 is a squadron that flies AV-8B Harriers. Their mission is to provide
offensive as well as defensive air support for Marine personnel and equipment. VMA-
223 “Bulldogs” was commissioned on May 1, 1942 and their first aircraft was the
Brewster F2A Buffalo. In 1965 VMA-223 and their A-4 Skyhawks were sent to Chu Lai,
South Vietnam. They were tasked with providing air support for allied ground forces.
They were stationed in South Vietnam for five and a half years and flew a total of 32,000
flight hours. In October 1987 the Bulldogs transitioned to their McDonnell Douglas AV-
8B Harrier II. Then in December 1993 the Bulldogs took delivery of the AV-8B II +.
