A wing in the UNSC Air Force combines several aircraft squadrons with non-aircraft units to provide services, such as airbase operation and fuel refining. Wings are placed on garrison deployments; their counterparts for expeditionary deployments are groups.[1] In the case of the 22nd First Response Wing, the unit was garrisoned at Launchsite 2A, where several FSS-1000 Sabre launch pads serve as the first response unit of the local UNSC planetary defense.[2]
