Originally established as a minor wing of Starfleet itself, Starfighter Command drew its personnel from both naval and marine pilots. After several years of success, it was proposed by the Executive Branch and passed through the Council (in 2403) to set up the organisation as an independent military wing, with the same freedoms afforded the newly formed Federation Mobile Infantry and Starfleet itself.
When on a base or colony, a squadron is usually self-sufficient, with its own maintenance crew and chain of command, and cooperating with local forces to see to the defence of their assignment. If assigned to a Starfleet vessel, the squadron is usually more reliant upon the ship and its crew, and is generally integrated with the chain of command, a holdover from when the two organisations were one.
The multiple Wings of Starfighter Command were originally more indicative of the assignment of the squadron, such as Alpha Wing's involvement in the Vulcan threat and Beta Wing's assignment to border defence. But as time has drawn on and the squadrons have changed and developed, such overall mandates have been impractical. Squadrons underwent experiences which made them suitable for assignments outside of their wing's mandate; as such, the wings have simply become administrative oversights instead of larger combat units. The independence of an individual squadrons remains sacrosanct in Starfighter Command.
