It currently operates the Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II from Leeuwarden Air Base, Friesland.

It was originally founded at RAF Woodvale, United Kingdom, on 12 June 1943 as No.

At the end of the war, 322e Jachtvliegtuig Afdeling of the Royal Netherlands Army was formed from the RAF squadron.

It performed, much like the other Dutch F-16 units, a dual 'swing role' task: having both ground support and interceptor duties.

After the battle, many pilots fled to the United Kingdom to continue the fight as part of the Allies.

322 Squadron was reactivated as part of the Dutch Armed Forces, operating the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX.

[4][5] Probably the most unusual mission in the squadron's history was performed on Saturday morning 11 June 1977 at 05:00 AM.

In 1995, during the fall of Srebrenica, two of its F-16s delivered the only bombs on the advancing Bosnian-Serb troops.

322 Squadron carried out its last flight with the F-16AM on 5 July 2021, when four F-16s departed Leeuwarden AB to Volkel Air Base.

[8] On 27 December 2021, the squadron attained Initial Operation Capability (IOC).
