No. 30 Squadron was established in March 1942 as a long range fighter squadron operating the Bristol Beaufighter. The Squadron saw action throughout the South-West Pacific before disbanding in August 1946. No. 30 Squadron was reformed in 1948 as a target towing squadron and operated in this role until 1956. The squadron was reformed again in 1961 as the RAAF's only Surface to Air Guided Weapons Squadron and was active in this role until its disbandment in 1965.
