The XSF Flight Structure

Our Flight Structure is at the very core of XSF Intro to Operations.
It ensures effective communication in conjunction with our Mumble Communications and makes accomplishing objectives that much easier. XSF Officers and their delegated Roles inside of that Structure are integral to its function and gives Commanders that are willing to step up the opportunity to excel.
A Flight is comprised of different Elements; the Strike Group, the Assault Groups and the Tactical Wings.

Strike Group Structure

Our structure is comprised of a ‘Strike Group’ which houses 19* commanders. Our findings are that the instance will start to break around 20, so the wing structure is based around that quantity. We break this down by command structure for ease of communication.

Officers’ Roles

Assault Group Structure

Assault Groups are the main branches of a Strike Group, each is comprised of two* Tactical Wings.
This allows for specialised Wings working together, excelling at their respective tasks.
For example; during a Maelstrom Rescue Operation one Assault Group might be tasked with Escort Duty
while the other Assault Group is tasked with Search and Rescue.

Officers’ Roles

  • Major
    • Commander of one Assault Group; leads two* Tactical Wings
    • When tasked by mission requirements or by direction from the Colonel, the Major uses their tactical judgement and knowledge of the mission requirements ensuring their Tactical Wings are achieving mission objectives
    • Pilots within a Command Wing with Colonel and General Staff

Tactical Wing Element

Tactical Wings are the backbone of any Operation.
Each Wing is made up of 4 Commanders. They focus on their given mission objectives.
In an event where the Wingleader decides to split their wing into teams; Team 1 will be Captain/Aviator and Team 2 will be Lieutenant/Aviator.
