<p><b>New page</b></p><div>A '''squadron''' is a type of echelon of warships organized for administrative and/or operational purposes. <br />
<br />
==Honorverse==<br />
<br />
===Hyper-capable ships===<br />
[[Honorverse]] navies commonly organize [[hyper-capable]] ships into squadrons of eight ships of the same type:<br />
<br />
*'''Battle Squadron (BatRon)''' consisting of "ships of the wall" ([[superdreadnought|superdreadnoughts]] or [[dreadnought|dreadnoughts]])<br />
<br />
*'''[[Battlecruiser]] Squadron (BatCruRon)'''<br />
<br />
*'''Cruiser Squadron (CruRon)''' consisting of [[Heavy Cruiser|heavy cruisers]]<br />
<br />
*'''Light Cruiser Squadron (LCruRon)''' consisting of [[Light Cruiser|light cruisers]]<br />
<br />
*'''[[Destroyer]] Squadron (DesRon)'''<br />
<br />
*'''[[LAC Carrier|Carrier]] Squadron (CLACRon)'''<br />
<br />
===Divisions===<br />
Each squadron of hyper-capable warships is usually divided into [[division|divisions]] of 2-3 ships. <br />
<br />
*BatRon: '''Battle Division (BatDiv)''' <br />
<br />
*BatCruRon: '''Battlecruiser Division (BatCruDiv)'''<br />
<br />
*CruRon: '''Cruiser Squadron (CruDiv)''' <br />
<br />
*LCruRon: '''Light Cruiser Division (LCruDiv)''' <br />
<br />
*DesRon: '''Destroyer Division (DesDiv)'''<br />
<br />
*CLACRon: '''Carrier Division (CLACDiv)'''<br />
<br />
===Flotillas===<br />
It is possible for two or more squadrons to be organized into a '''flotilla'''. This is most common for destroyers. A '''DesFlot''' is usually an administrative echelon with the constituent ships operating individually or in divisions.<br />
<br />
===LACs===<br />
[[Light Attack Craft]] are usually organized into Wings or Groups, each of which is commonly divided into squadrons of 8-12 LACs.<br />
<br />
==Royal Manticoran Army==<br />
{{Infobox-units}}<br />
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.<br />
<br />
===RMA squadron chapters in TRMN===<br />
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>[[Adjutant General Order 2412-01]] in accordance with [[PD-SC-1003 Chapter and Echelon Policy]]</ref> <br />
<br />
====Strike Squadrons====<br />
Tier 4 chapters (minimum of 6 members commanded by a [[major]] ([[O-4]]) with an O-3 [[Executive Officer]] and an E-7 NCOIC are designated as a '''Strike Squadron'''. <br />
<br />
====RMA Chapter Nomenclature====<br />
The chapter name will be a nominal aerospace [[wing]], of which the squadron is part.<ref>[[Adjutant General Order 2407-01]]</ref> A Tier 3 chapter would be called, for example, "Alpha Squadron, [[Stonearch Atmospheric Wing]]." <br />
<br />
==TRMN Naval Squadron Echelons==<br />
<br />
[[File:BatRon 1.jpg|200px|thumb|left|[[Crest]] of [[BatRon 1]]]]<br />
<br />
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). <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
TRMN Squadrons usually consist of four or more ships, divided into two or three divisions of 2-3 ships each. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
''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.''<br />
