Group is a term used by different air forces for an element of military organization. The size of a group varies considerably between different countries. The terms group and wing are used differently in different air forces and this can cause confusion.In the Royal Air Force (RAF) and most other Commonwealth air forces, a group is a formation of several units. Historically, groups directly controlled a number of wings, which would each control two or more squadrons.At the present time, groups control stations, although Expeditionary Air Groups control Expeditionary Air Wings directly. Groups are directly subordinate to a command (or, historically, to a tactical air force).
