I am pretty sure a wing is higher then a group. Many groups make a wing, many wings make an AF? But I am pretty sure that a group is under a wing.

I say this because in CAP I was NJ Wing and in Group 225. So my succession went:

Nat'l CAP
North-East Region
NJ Wing
Group 225
Air Victory Museum Composite Squadron

In AFROTC I go this:

Nat'l AFROTC
Southwest Region
Detachment 028 (Wing)
13th Operations Group
13th Operations Squadron
Echo Flight

Exactly what I was saying...

YOu might be right, Us Canadians don't have groups in our air force or cadets.

Do you canadians use the english system whatever that is

You mean the metric system?

Also, I take offense to you saying "you canadians"! I am canadian too, give respect!

HAH! I found it. The definition of an air group is right in the Royal Canadian Air Cadets drill manual!!

Air Group: A military formation of 2 or more WINGS, and supporting formations.

The air force equivilant to a brigade.

Plus, I am part of 746 squadron, fraser valley wing, Vancouver Air Group.

And yes, we DO use the metric system, like the rest of the world.

We, Americans, are just stubborn.
