Avant sa dissolution, elle était équipée de chasseurs Mirage 2000C/RDI et installée sur la base aérienne 115 Orange-Caritat. Ses avions portaient un code entre 5-NA et 5-NZ.En avril 1949, le Groupe de Chasse 1/5 Travail devient le GC 1/5 Vendée. Il est rattaché à la 5e escadre de chasse. D'abord équipé de Bell P-63 Kingcobra, il est envoyé combattre en Indochine quelques mois plus tard. Il y effectuera pratiquement 3000 missions de guerre et obtiendra deux citations. Le GC 1/5 revient en France en 1950, sur la Base aérienne 115 Orange-Caritat. Il devient alors l'Escadron de Chasse 1/5 Vendéeet passe sur avion à réaction avec le De Havilland Vampire. L'escadron reçoit des Mirage 2000C/RDI en juillet 1988. Il est engagé dans le Golfe Persique (Opération Daguet) et en Bosnie-Herzégovine (Opération Salamandre). Les avions de l'EC 1/5 Vendée sont les principaux "acteurs" du film Les Chevaliers du ciel.Après avoir participé à la Guerre d'Algérie, l'EC 1/5 sera successivement équipé de Mystère II (janvier 1957), de Mystère IV (janvier 1958), de Super Mystère B2 (janvier 1961), de Mirage IIIC (juillet 1966) et de Mirage F1C (mars 1975). Il participe alors à des déploiements en Afrique, notamment à Djibouti et au Tchad (Opération Manta). Dans le cadre de la ré-organisation de l'Armée de l'Air, l'escadron est dissous le 29 juin 20071 et douze (dix monoplaces et deux biplaces) de ses vingt-deux Mirage 2000 ont été vendus d'occasion au Brésil. An Armée de l'Air (French Air Force) Dassault Mirage F1C from Escadron de chasse 1/5 Vendée (serial 5-NH) based at Base aérienne 115 Orange-Caritat, Vaucluse, Provence (France). EC 1/5 flew the Mirage F1C from 1975 to 1988.The new generation Mirage 2000C is delivered to the 5e Escadre de Chasse based at Orange-Caritat on July 20 th 1988. The Mirage 2000C RDI No47 coded 5-NH is assigned to the EC 1/5 Vendee. This squadron will take its first operational alert on September 1 st that year. There are two main modifications that increases the mirage 2000C capacity: The RDI (pulse doppler radar) and the Snecma M53-P2 engine. The RDI operates in the Look Down – Shoot Down mode and can track a target to at least 145kms (80nm), as opposed to 27nm for the RDM, although the radar range is 110kms (60nm). The missile Matra Super 530F is superceded by the 530D capable to shoot down a target 50kms away. La 5eme Escadre de Chasse basée à Orange-Caritat reçoit le 20 juillet 1988 la nouvelle génération de Mirage 2000C: la version RDI. Le n° 47 codé 5-NH est le premier appareil affecté à l'Escadron de Chasse 1/5 "Vendée" qui prend l'alerte opérationnelle le 1er septembre de la même année. Deux grandes modifications viennent accroître les capacités du Mirage 2000 : la présence d'un radar RDI (Radar Doppler à Impulsion) et l'installation d'un réacteur Snecma M53-P2. Le RDI fonctionne en mode Look Down-Shoot Down et est capable de détecter et suivre une cible à plus de 145 kms soit 80NM (contre 27NM avec le RDM – la portée du radar étant toutefois de 110kms – 60NM). Le missile d'interception Super 530F laisse place au Super 530D capable d'abattre une cible à 50kms. L'EC 1/5 Vendée d'Orange, composé des escadrilles SPA 26 Cigogne de Saint Galmier et SPA 124 "La Jeanne", est le premier escadron de l'Armée de l'air à être équipé de Mirage 2000 RDI. C'est donc lui naturellement qui effectuera le premier, le 22/11/1991, la 10 000ème heure de vol sur ce type d'appareil. The War in the Vendée (1793; French: Guerre de Vendée) was an uprising in the Vendée region of France during the French Revolution. The Vendée is a coastal region, located immediately south of the Loire Riverin western France. Initially, the war was similar to the 14th-century Jacquerie peasant uprising, but quickly acquired themes considered by the Jacobin government in Paris to be counter-revolutionary, and Royalist. The uprising headed by the newly formed Catholic and Royal Army was comparable to the Chouannerie, which took place in the area north of the Loire. The departments included in the uprising, called the Vendée Militaire, included the area between the Loire and the Layon rivers: Vendée (Marais, Bocage Vendéen, Collines Vendéennes), part of Maine-et-Loire west of the Layon, and the portion of Deux-Sèvres west of the River Thouet. Having secured their pays, the deficiencies of the Vendean army became more apparent. Lacking a unified strategy (or army) and fighting a defensive campaign, from April onwards the army lost cohesion and its special advantages. Successes continued for some time: Thouars was taken in early May and Saumur in June; there were victories at Châtillonand Vihiers. After this string of victories, the Vendeans turned to a protracted siege of Nantes, for which they were unprepared and which stalled their momentum, giving the government in Paris sufficient time to send more troops and experienced generals. Tens of thousands of civilians, royalists, Republican prisoners, and sympathizers with the revolution or the religious were massacred by both armies. Historians such as Reynald Secher have described these events as "genocide", but most scholars reject the use of the word as inaccurate. Ultimately, the uprising was suppressed using draconian measures. The historian François Furet concludes that the repression in the Vendée "not only revealed massacre and destruction on an unprecedented scale but also a zeal so violent that it has bestowed as its legacy much of the region's identity ... The war aptly epitomizes the depth of the conflict ... between religious tradition and the revolutionary foundation of democracy." The Dassault Mirage 2000 is a French multirole, single-engine fourth-generation jet fighter manufactured by Dassault Aviation. It was designed in the late 1970s as a lightweight fighter to replace the Mirage III for the French Air Force (Armée de l'Air). The Mirage 2000 evolved into a multirole aircraft with several variants developed, with sales to a number of nations. It was later developed into the Mirage 2000N and 2000D strike variants, the improved Mirage 2000-5 and several export variants. Over 600 aircraft were built and it has been in service with nine nations.The first aircraft entered service in July 1984. The first operational squadron was formed during the same year, the 50th anniversary of the French Air Force. A total of 124 Mirage-2000Cs were obtained by the AdA. French Mirage 2000s were used during the Gulf War where they flew high altitude air defence for USAF U2 spy aircraft, as well as in UN and NATO air operations during the Bosnian War and the Kosovo War. During Operation Deliberate Force, on 30 August 1995, one Mirage 2000D was shot down over Bosnia by a 9K38 Igla shoulder-launched missile fired by air defence units of the Army of Republika Srpska, prompting efforts to obtain improved defensive systems. Both crew members were captured and later released through mediation of Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. French Mirage 2000Ds later served with the International Security Assistance Force during the conflict in Afghanistan in 2001–2002, operating in close conjunction with international forces and performing precision attacks with laser-guided bombs. In the summer of 2007, after the Dassault Rafale fighters had been removed from the theater of operations, three French Mirage 2000s were deployed to Afghanistan in support of NATO troops. The Mirage 2000 is being replaced in French service by the Dassault Rafale, which became operational with the French Air Force in June 2006. French Mirage 2000s were committed to enforcing the no-fly zone in Libya as part of Opération Harmattan in 2011. On 14 April 2018, four French Mirage 2000-5Fs participated in a joint military operation against the Syrian government with the UK and U.S. during the Syrian Civil War.
