Wing Commander (CAG)

The CAG is directly responsible for the operational readiness and tactical performance of the air wing. He is responsible for the coordination and supervision of all activities of the embarked squadrons and detachments, and for the material readiness, communications, and intelligence functions of the air wing. The CAG does fall directly under the Battlestar’s commanding officer.

AIR WING

The Battlestar Mjolnir BSR-37, known as “The Hammer” of 7th Colonial Fleet, is looking for dedicated men and women who want to serve in critical assignments as pilots and technicians to defend the fleet and the last vestiges of humanity from the Cylon aggression!

What is our Mission?

The Battlestar Air Wing stationed onboard, allows for broad striking power hundreds of sectors away from the Battlestar’s position, while providing defense in depth through early warning and detection of spaceborne/airborne targets and the rapid prosecution of these identified threats.

Well organized, equipped and trained, the Air Wing provides a majority of the striking power and electronic warfare to the battle!

Who We Are?

The Air Wing is a Fleet-wide organization comprised of squadrons and maintenance detachments. The makeup of the Air Wing provides the Battlestar Commanding Officer the tactical flexibility to handle any situation or arising threats of Cylon incursions into Colonial space.

Here is the breakdown of Mjolnir’s 74th “The Mighty” Einherjar Air Wing;

  • 3 Strike Viper Squadrons (S/VFA) of Mark II/VII Vipers.
  • One Electronic Attack Squadron (S/VAQ) of Raptors.
  • One Early Warning Squadron (S/VAW) of Raptors.

A Battlestar Air Wing is headed by a small staff led by the “CAG”, a legacy term from earlier fleet beginnings which stands for Commander Air Group. The Air Staff is often supplemented with squadron intelligence officers and maintenance officers. Each Air Wing was designed to be a balanced mix of fighting power and defense to provide the maximum benefit to the Battlestar.

What can the Colonies do for you?

Through sustained first rate leadership and instruction you will learn hands-on piloting one of the latest Colonial Vipers or Raptors. Unless you are intrigued by the more complex and challenging technologies that make these ships operate, the Vipers and Raptors maintenance teams aim to please! While serving in the Colonial Fleet you can expect a challenging career with special duty assignments, meritorious promotions and selection of ship/squadron assignment.* (* Perspective candidates will be consider on a case by case basis as to best as to fulfill the Fleet’s need as operations against the current Cylon aggression persists.)

Ask yourself…

  • Are you one of the select few who will step up to become a fleet defender?
  • Do you have what it takes to defend all that is left of the 12 Colonies?
  • Will you be part of Colonial history or just read about it later?
