The 2nd Strike Fighter Squadron is a Naval squadron in the Republic of Emmeria's Navy. This squadron flies F/A-18F aircraft, and is led by Freddie Durand. This squadron was there when Gracemeria was invaded, and then moved to back up the 28th Tactical Fighter Squadron during the Emmerian counter-attack across the Anean continent. After the war, this squadron is still active. They proved to be a reliable ally to Garuda Squadron during the Anean Continental War.
