Wikipedia
In the United States Air Force, a Division was an intermediate level of command, subordinate to a Numbered Air Force, controlling one or more Wings. It also controlled squadrons without associated same-function wings, i.e., 17th Defense Systems Evaluation Squadron had no associated wing, but its function was part of the 24th Air Division. It is now considered obsolete.
Air Division may refer to:
- Aviation Division (USSR)
- USAF Air Division
- Term is also in use in the German Luftwaffe; see :de:Luftwaffendivision
