A squadron is a small unit or formation of cavalry, aircraft (including balloons), or warships.

Army


A cavalry squadron (horse or armoured) typically consists of three to five troops. In the United States Army, a squadron is the Cavalry equivalent of a battalion of infantry or artillery; it is used for Armored Cavalry and Air Cavalry units. In the British Army and many Commonwealth armies, it is the counterpart of an infantry company or artillery battery. The designation is also used for company-sized units in the Special Air Service, Royal Engineers, Royal Corps of Signals, Royal Army Medical Corps and Royal Logistic Corps, and formerly of the now defunct Royal Corps of Transport, as well as some units in the Royal Marines.

Squadrons are commonly designated using letters or numbers (e.g. No. 1 Squadron or A Squadron). In the British Army, however, it is a tradition for squadrons to also be named after an important historical battle in which the regiment has taken part. In some special cases, squadrons can also be named after a unique honour which has been bestowed on the unit (e.g. The Queen's Colour Squadron of the Royal Air Force's RAF Regiment).
