Editing Wing commander (section)

===United States Navy===
In the [[United States Navy]] (USN), a wing commander is also a command billet, not a rank.  The equivalent USN rank is a [[Captain (United States O-6)|captain]].  Navy wing commanders are either [[Naval Aviator]]s or [[Naval Flight Officer]]s who typically have command of a [[carrier air wing]] or a "functional" air wing or air group such as a strike fighter wing, a patrol and reconnaissance wing, a tactical air control group, or a training air wing, with several squadron commanding officers reporting to him/her.  Those officers commanding carrier air wings are called "CAG," dating back to when carrier air wings were called carrier air groups.  Those officers commanding functional air wings and air groups are called [[Commodore (United States)|"commodore."]]  Unlike USAF, "group" commands in USN are either equal to or senior to an air wing.
