History

The Alliance Starfighter Corps, Also called the Rebel Air Force, was first founded as a Non-naval Air force used by the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Originally, the Alliance Starfighter Corps was established as an independent entity within the Alliance High Command. In the early days of the Rebellion, starships were few and far between, and so the Alliance was forced to rely on starfighters capable of hyperspace travel to conduct it's attacks against the Empire. As the Fleet grew however, the need to isolate the Starfighter Corps reduced; and in fact, that isolation became counterproductive. In order to streamline the interaction between navy and starfighter personnel, the two were brought under the same operational banner. Despite this unification, the Starfighter Corps is still retains its unique rank structure, and continues to train and administer it's personel independently. While all fighter wings are now considered part of the Corps each wing operates on its own apart from the Corps Command. Large scale Fighter OPs and Wing deployment fall under the Corps jurisdiction. All Elite Fighter Groups answer to Corps Command no matter their current Deployment.

Deployment

The Bulk of the Corps Fighter's were divided into Wings. A wing was made up of 3 to 12 squadrons of 6 or 12 fighter generally attached to a ship, Station, or fleet. When a larger force is needed up to 3 wings could be formed into a Fighter Group. This was a rare accurence as resources and operational procedure did not allow for such a large number of fighters to be deployed in a single command.

A Squadron consisted of 12 fighters, Commanded by a Lieutenant Colonel, and formed into 3 smaller flights of 4 fighters each commanded by a Major. Each flight was made up of 2 sections of 2 fighters each commanded by a Lieutenant. Most Squadrons within the Alliance Starfighter corps fallowed this structure. Some less orthodox or elite squadrons had command structures singular to their squadron..
