[QUOTE]Originally posted by Woodside Kid: [QB] Of course, all this gets complicated by the fact that an Air Force squadron need not have any planes at all; it all depends on the function it performs. For example, when I was in flight simulator maintenance, my first two squadrons were the 96th and 9th Avionics Maintenance Squadrons. After simulators were transferred from Maintenance to Operations, my shop was directly under the 9th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing. As for the levels of organization in the USAF, (the way I was taught it in basic training back in '83) from highest to lowest they went like this: Headquarters USAF Major Command Numbered Air Force Air Division Wing Group Squadron Flight Squad The group was often used to contain units from one command being housed on a base belonging to another. For example, on the last base I was assigned to, the 398th Operations Group (responsible for KC-135 crew training) was a tenant unit of the 93rd Bomb Wing (responsible for B-52 crew training).
