Chapter Nomenclature
All RMA chapters that wish to portray an Aerospace unit take a wing name. If they are a smaller tier than full wing, they portray a constituent echelon of the wing. For example, a Tier 2 chapter portrays one of the wing's flights.
Example: Stonearch Atmospheric Wing, Alpha Squadron, Number One Flight
The chapter name stays the same as the chapter grows to portray larger portions of the wing, up to the full wing (Tier 9 chapter).[2]
