Attack Carrier Air Wing FOURTEEN was established at NAS Miramar in July 1950 to meet the increasing demands placed upon aviation by the Korean Conflict. Air Wing FOURTEEN first deployed aboard USS KEARSARGE during the Korean Conflict. Subsequent deployments were to the Atlantic and Mediterranean followed by a "Trip around the Horn" aboard USS RANGER in 1958. Later deployments were to WESTPAC embarked on USS RANGER, USS ORISKANY, USS LEXINGTON, USS CONSTELLATION and USS ENTERPRISE.

On 17 February 1994, CVW-14 embarked on USS CARL VINSON for another WESTPAC deployment and returned to homeport 15 August 1995. Assigned to Commander, Cruiser-Destroyer Three, CVW-14 deployed on WESTPAC 96 on USS CARL VINSON on 14 May 1996. During this deployment, the CARL VINSON Task Group took part in Operation SOUTHERN WATCH and Operation DESERT STRIKE in which USN and USAF forces conducted TLAM and CALCM strikes against Iraq in response to Baghdad's invasion of Kurdish-held territory in Northern Iraq. CVW-14 escorted B-52 aircraft in support of their CALCM strikes and subsequently flew numerous sorties to enforce the newly-expanded no-fly zone to 33 degrees north. The Task Group outchopped the Fifth Fleet AOR on 8 October and returned to San Diego on 12 November.
