*"[[Wikipedia:Commander, Air Group|CAG]]" is a US Navy term that has gained widespread recognition through films and television series such as "Top Gun" and "JAG". The term "CAG" is obsolete as Air Groups are now known as Air Wings and the position is "Commander, Air Wing" (CAW), but it is still used, especially on an informal level. The term "Air Wing" is also used on ''Battlestar Galactica'' {{TRS|Pegasus (episode)}}. | *"[[Wikipedia:Commander, Air Group|CAG]]" is a US Navy term that has gained widespread recognition through films and television series such as "Top Gun" and "JAG".

*The CAG's rank and place in the ship's hierarchy is one area where ''Battlestar Galactica'' diverges from the US Navy. In the real world, the CAG is a captain (O-6) of equal seniority to the ship's captain (or skipper), with both under the command of an admiral who commands the Carrier Strike Group. ''Battlestar Galactica'' places the CAG under the ship's commander, and at major or even captain he or she holds a relatively low rank. | *The CAG's rank and place in the ship's hierarchy is one area where ''Battlestar Galactica'' diverges from the US Navy.
