On 3 June 1948 the Red Devils were reactivated as a reserve fighter squadron at [[Floyd Bennett Field|NAS New York / Floyd Bennett Field]], [[New York (state)|New York]], with the name it currently holds; Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 232. With the outbreak of hostilities in [[Korea]], the squadron was placed on alert and ordered to [[Marine Corps Air Station El Toro]], California. Here, the squadron received its first delivery of the [[F4U Corsair]]. Although the unit itself did not deploy to Korea, by April 1951 nearly all the original aviators and forty percent of the enlisted Marines in the squadron had been detached and sent overseas for combat duty.

In March 1953, the Red Devils transitioned to the jet age with the receipt of the Grumman [[F9F Panther]]. In 1954, homebase for 232 was changed from MCAS El Toro, to [[Marine Corps Base Hawaii|Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay]], Hawaii, where they flew the [[FJ Fury]], the "Navalized" version of the [[F-86 Sabre]]. In March 1956, the Red Devils, VMF 232 set a "till that time" record of 2558 flight hours and 1571 sorties in one month. The Red Devils moved to the final version of the Fury, the FJ-4 from '56-'59. VMF 232 was deployed to Westpac on the [[USS Bennington (CV-20)|USS ''Bennington'']] during the [[Second Taiwan Strait Crisis|Quemoy Matsu Crisis]] in the fall of 1958 and later was stationed at [[Naval Air Facility Atsugi]]. That year the squadron flew over 10,000 hours and was named by the [[Commandant of the United States Marine Corps|Commandant]], the Marine Fighter Squadron of the Year. After arriving back in Japan, the squadron received its complement of new [[F-8 Crusader]]s beginning in March 1959.<ref>{{cite magazine|author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |date=June 1959 |title=VMFA-232 Gets Crusaders |url=https://www.history.navy.mil/content/dam/nhhc/research/histories/naval-aviation/Naval%20Aviation%20News/1950/pdf/jun59.pdf |magazine= Naval Aviation News|location=Washington D.C. |publisher=Chief of Naval Operations |access-date=2023-08-02}}</ref>
