Squadron (army), a military unit of cavalry, tanks, or equivalent subdivided into troops or tank companies. Squadron (aviation), a military unit that consists of three or four flights with a total of 12 to 24 aircraft, depending on the type of aircraft and the air force, naval or army air service.
The USAF has no rigid set number for a squadron because the squadron is a basic formation for the USAF and as such stays relatively flexible. It must be as a squadron is not just aircraft but can be ground units as well as air units. For fighters, a squadron is around 24 aircraft made up of usually at least four, 4-ship flights. These flights consist of a pair of 2-ship elements. Other air units may be made up of other types of aircraft and the numbers will vary depending upon the type of aircraft used.. Example: A USAF weather squadron might utilize C-130 Hercules transports. Still a squadron but the number of aircraft used may be less; around 8 or 12. This holds true for all the services and especially for fighter and attack aircraft.
