The following year, the regiment was reduced to a single squadron and reactivated as an operational unit.

It took more than 10 years from the first pilot in 1940 to a fully operational unit.

It eliminated its old divisional infantry organization and established the brigade as the largest operational unit.

Each wing supervises the individual groups and squadrons, which are the basic operational unit of the organization.

Phase two training enables the individual to join an operational unit prepared to contribute to operational effectiveness.
