Cadet Wing
All training and operations are handled by the cadet wing. The cadet organization is based on a wing structure similar to active duty Air Force organizations. The wing is broken down into groups, then squadrons. The upperclassman cadets will lead the wing in training to become Air & Space Force officers. First Year Cadets (AS100s) and Second Year Cadets (AS200s) will be assigned to a flight in the Operations group, led by a flight commander. Their flight commander will be an upperclassmen cadet, and will train AS100s in the basics of military protocol, drill and ceremonies, proper uniform wear, and professional conduct. The flight commanders are led by their squadron commanders, whom are led by the Operations Group Commander, who reports to the Wing Commander.
Consisting of ten or more cadets, each flight will learn to work as a team and as individuals. Cadets will change flights each semester so that they can be exposed to new people and different leadership styles. Cadets will have many opportunities to assume leadership roles and responsibilities within the flight, and will be evaluated by the Flight Commander.
In addition to their roles in the flights, cadets will take on additional duties within the cadet wing. Cadet performance in these duties will impact their evaluation in the wing. These duties may include: keeping cadet areas clean, providing transportation for ROTC events, running and organizing Physical Training sessions, administering Physical Fitness Assessments, and managing the Website. As cadets spend more time at Detachment 175, they will learn about the various positions in the Cadet Wing and how all the groups work together to provide support for the mission of producing leaders for the Air Force and Space Force.
