List of active United States Air Force aircraft squadrons

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Remove ads

This is an organized list of all of the active aircraft squadrons that currently exist in the United States Air Force, sorted by type. Most squadrons have changed names and designations many times over the years, so they are listed by their current designation. Squadrons are only listed if flying aircraft is their primary mission (other units such as certain Student Squadrons & Training Squadrons, Test Squadrons, Operations Support Squadrons, and Group / Wing / NAF / MAJCOM staffs may have large contingents of aircrew assigned, but they do not "own" aircraft and their mission does not necessarily revolve around flying). Aircraft are separated based on MDS (not MWS).

To see all USAF squadrons, regardless of active or not, as well as non-flying squadrons, go to the List of United States Air Force squadrons

Squadron-level Operational Detachments

Summarize
Perspective

Listed are operational detachments from Wing or Group-level units that are organized and managed similarly to Squadrons, but lack the amount of aircraft assigned to be labeled as such.

Squadron-sized Wing-level Units

Listed are units that have sufficient numbers of aircraft and aircrew assigned, but are commanded by a Colonel rank (or higher) and thus not labeled as a Squadron.
