Get Squadron Officers. Change Of Officers - Squadron

In most military aviation services, a wing is a relatively large formation of planes. In Commonwealth countries a wing usually comprises three squadrons, with several wings forming a group (around 10 squadrons). Each squadron will contain around 20 planes.

A squadron is usually commanded by a major (O-4) or lieutenant colonel (O-5), however lieutenant colonel is the most common grade of rank for the "squadron commander" (SQ/CC) of most types of squadrons.

Per AFI 38-101 Air Force Organization (21 April 2015) a group is a "level of command between wings and squadrons. Groups bring together multiple squadrons or other lower echelon units to provide a broader capability."

The Squadron Officer School (SOS) in-residence program is a 5 week educational experience for USAF captains. The purpose of the program is to help develop solution-minded, bold and courageous Airmen ready to overcome today's and tomorrow's challenges.

Combat units in the Air Force are generally organized as squadrons of aircraft. Those squadrons vary widely in size—with anything from 8 to 24 aircraft being common—as well as in types of aircraft.

What is ISOS? ISOS is a type of Professional Military Education (PME) that is equivalent to the Squadron Officer School (SOS) that all USAF captains attend before promoting to major, but with a Latin American 'twist.

In determining the size of a fighter wing equivalent, Air Force planners use as a baseline the typical active duty wing, composed of three squadrons of 24 mission-ready aircraft each, or 72 combat-coded fighters.

For the purpose of this database, a wing/equivalent is any organization at, above, or below wing level with one or more operations squadrons assigned to it. Some examples are numbered air divisions and World War II combat groups.
