Ground support wing

A ground support wing was a formation of the Imperial Army.

Organization
A ground support wing was the result of a compromise between the Imperial Navy and the Army. The Army wanted their own dedicated starfighter support, while the Navy wanted to retain control of the fighters. The resulting unit consisted of only forty TIE series starfighters, rather than the seventy-two of the stand naval wing. Numbering forty TIEs, they were split into ten flights of four fighters each. Three flights were TIE/sa bombers, six flights were sorted into two squadrons of TIE/LN starfighters, and a single flight of TIE/fc starfighters. Unit personnel numbered forty pilots, twenty-five sensor technicians, twenty-five controllers, and sixty support personnel.
