In the [[Royal Manticoran Army]]'s [[Atmospheric Command]] [[wing]]s, a squadron is the equivalent of a [[company]] in ground unit [[regiment]]s. Each Atmospheric Command wing ([[regiment]] equivalent) is made up of multiple squadrons of atmospheric or orbital craft, such as the M116 Viper stingship, or the M105 Goliath transport. | |||
== | ===RMA squadron chapters in TRMN=== | ||
An [[Atmospheric Command]] Tier 3 chapter is designated a squadron, and requires a minimum of 3 members, commanded by a [[captain]] ([[O-3]]) assisted by a [[Master Sergeant]] ([[E-7]])<ref>[[Orders:Adjutant General Order 2412-01]] in accordance with [[PD-SC-1003 Chapter and Echelon Policy]]</ref> | |||
[[ | ====Strike Squadrons==== | ||

Although in canon a division is by definition a constituent part of a squadron, in TRMN it is common for a division to be formed even if there is not a full squadron. This is because there are often not enough chapters in an area to form a squadron. Divisions will still be numbered as if they are part of a notional squadron. | In {{trmn}}(TRMN), squadrons may be formed by [[chapter|chapters]] within a [[fleet]] which are located within a geographical proximity allowing them to operate together (e.g. attend conventions and other events together). | ||
Squadrons/divisions are considered "grassroots" echelons formed at the request of the constituent ships with the approval of the [[First Space Lord]]. This is contrasted with [[task force|task forces]] and [[task group|task groups]], which are "top-down" geographical echelons formed by the First Space Lord in consultation with the [[Fleet Commander|fleet CO]]. Squadrons/divisions might be part of a [[task echelon]], but are not necessarily part of one. | |||
TRMN Squadrons usually consist of four or more ships, divided into two or three divisions of 2-3 ships each. | |||
Although in [[canon]] a division is by definition a constituent part of a squadron, in TRMN it is common for a division to be formed even if there is not a full squadron. This is because there are often not enough chapters in an area to form a squadron. Divisions will still be numbered as if they are part of a notional squadron, and may still devise and use the [[crest]] of the squadron. | |||
''Example: CruDiv 42.1 is the first division of the 42nd Cruiser Squadron. Even if TRMN has only this division and no full squadron, the division may have a CruRon 42 crest approved. Later, if CruDiv 42.2 is formed, the two divisions will make up CruRon 42.'' | ''Example: CruDiv 42.1 is the first division of the 42nd Cruiser Squadron.
