The team is currently in the running for the award for the best squadron in the country and was due a visit from a high-ranking officer.
Gill Brannan from the corps said it would thousands of pounds to repair the damage: "Everything is smashed, a wall is ripped out, there is nothing left."
She added: "The paint that we'd bought to paint the railings outside to make sure everything looked really good for the commodore coming to visit us on the 6 March, that has been thrown all over the squadron.
"The place is devastated. Everything is smashed there's no computers left - everything has gone, even down to sweets and mugs that we drink out of."
Police are investigating the incident.
