The unit flew various aircraft, including the B-26 Invader, B-66 Destroyer, and A-37 Dragonfly, until transitioning to unmanned aircraft in 2009.

Since its transition to the MQ-9, the 11th Attack Squadron has played a critical role in operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, and other locations around the world. The unit's ISR capabilities have been used to support a variety of missions, including counterterrorism operations and intelligence gathering.

The 11th Attack Squadron has received numerous awards and accolades for its service, including the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award with Valor and the Air Force Association Outstanding Unit Award. The squadron's motto, "Vincere Aut Mori" (Conquer or Die), reflects its commitment to excellence and dedication to mission success.
