Talk:List of United States Air Force communications squadrons

1 ASCOS
This unit is currently listed under ACOMS units, but the primary purpose of an ACOMS is to support an Air Operations Center. The ASCOS is closer to, but also doesn't really fit under, a combat communications squadron. I'm not really sure where to move 1 ASCOS, but it really needs to move out of the ACOMS section...

612 ACOMS
Either the 612th Air Communications Squadron was redesignated and moved to Panama (temporarily?), or a new org called the 612th Air Expeditionary Communications Squadron was created, maybe just for the exercise Fuerzas Aliadas Panamax 2009. See the first four paragraphs of. I don't see any refs to the Expeditionary name after 2009. I'll leave the squadron's entry unchanged. --Pmsyyz (talk) 20:56, 6 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Expeditionary units are provisional organizations, manned by folks from one unit. When a particular expeditionary unit is mostly manned by folks from a single unit (the "main force provider"), the expeditionary unit uses the number of the providing unit.  So the Panama squadron would be a provisional unit manned (mostly or entirely) by folks deployed from the 612th Air Communications Squadron--Lineagegeek (talk) 00:50, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Detachments
A number of detachments have entries on the table. I don't think this is appropriate for a list of squadrons. If there is a real need to mention them, it should be in a note for the entry of the parent unit. --Lineagegeek (talk) 00:50, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

How broad should this be.
An IP editor added a section for Engineering Installation Squadrons (also including groups, which is now removed). Is there a consensus on including or excluding units without "Communications" in their name on this list? And if they are included, should they be relegated to the Specialized Communications Squadrons?

Here's a list of what might be included under the inclusive view
 * Airborne Radio Relay Squadrons
 * AACS Engineering & Installation Squadrons
 * AACS Installation Squadrons
 * AACS Installation & Maintenance Squadrons
 * AACS Radio Relay Squadrons
 * Alteration & Installation Squadrons
 * Combat Information Systems Squadrons
 * Electronics Engineering Squadrons
 * Electronic Installation Squadrons
 * Electronics Test Squadron
 * Engineering Installation Squadrons
 * GEEIA Squadrons
 * GEEIA Communications Construction Squadrons
 * GEEIA Communications Maintenance Squadron
 * Information Systems Squadrons
 * Radio Squadrons
 * Radio Relay Squadrons
 * Telephone & Carrier Squadron

Squadrons not on list with "Communications" in their title
 * AACS Mobile Communications Squadrons
 * Base Communications Squadrons
 * Combat Communications Support Squadrons
 * Communications and Computer Systems Squadron
 * Communications Construction Squadrons
 * Communications & Electronics Maintenance Squadrons
 * Communications-Electronics Maintenance Squadrons
 * Communication Security Squadrons
 * Communications Security Depot Squadrons
 * Defense Space Communications Squadron
 * Global Communications Systems Squadron
 * Mobile Communications Squadrons
 * Reserve Communications Training Squadrons
 * Satellite Communications Squadrons
 * Special Operations Communications Squadrons
 * Strategic Communications Squadron

Given that the article starts with the badges for 17D officer and 3D enlisted career fields, I would think that the article should include any squadrons that primarily employ those career fields...

1970th Communications Squadron
I was assigned to this unit in Woomera, Australia, 1979-1981. This Wikipedia lists the unit at RAF Briz Norton in England.

According to AIR FORCE HISTORICAL RESEARCH AGENCY the current designation for the 1970th Comm Sqd is the 707th Comm Sqd. http://www.afhra.af.mil/About-Us/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/432560/707-communications-squadron-afisra/

It also shows where and when the unit was the 1970th Comm Sqd and when it was in Australia. Says nothing about RAF Briz Norton.

Please Help for correcting this Wikipedia topic.

Thanks much Paul Chester paulwchester@gmail.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:281:C400:A8EC:65E5:A80B:A283:CE9 (talk) 00:30, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Both are correct. Problem is that three different units are involved.
 * The 1970th AACS Squadron was organized on 20 October 1951 at RAF Fairford.  In June 1953, it moved to RAF Brize Norton, where it was discontinued on 1 November 1953.
 * A second 1970th AACS Squadron was organized at RAF Brize Norton on 1 November 1954. It became the 1970th Communications Squadron on 1 July 1961 and was discontinued on 1 April 1965.
 * The second 1970th Communications Squadron is the one you were assigned to.
 * Air Force regulations at the time dictated that although these units had common designations, they were not related to one another, so there was one 1970th Communications Squadron at Brize Norton and another at Woomera. Go ahead and WP:BE BOLD and add the unit you were in, but don't forget to add a reference. --Lineagegeek (talk) 23:36, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

1st Aerospace Communications Group
The 1st Aerospace Communications Group was at Offutt AFB NE and provided telecommunications to HQ SAC. I was assigned to it in 1970-1971 as a teletype operator. Should it be added? 2600:1700:7FD0:5510:884B:8E28:EBBA:F90 (talk) 09:43, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Cyberspace Operations Squadrons
Question: Is this the correct list to add Cyberspace Squadrons? I saw it eluded to in a couple of places on the page. Here are just a few existing pages that I found on Wikipedia.


 * 33rd Cyberspace Operations Squadron
 * 69th Cyberspace Squadron
 * 91st Cyberspace Operations Squadron
 * 92nd Cyberspace Operations Squadron
 * 223rd Cyberspace Operations Squadron
 * 261st Cyber Operations Squadron
 * 315th Cyberspace Operations Squadron

I'm sure there are more. Thoughts? — TadgStirkland401  (TadgTalk) 17:27, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
