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.[1] For example in the case of the 22nd First Response Wing, it was garrisoned at Launchsite 2A with several SS-1000 Sabre launch pads as the "first response" of the local UNSC Planetary Defense.[2]
