Editing Red Squadron (RDM)

{{disline|For the Original Series Red Squadron see: [[Red Squadron (TOS)]]}}



'''Red Squadron''' is the [[wireless]] callsign of several fighter squadrons.

During the [[Battle of the Binary Star System]], it is led by Captain [[Marcia Case|Marcia "Showboat" Case]] {{TRS|The Captain's Hand}}.

The combined [[Raptor]] and Viper squadron used as decoy in the [[Battle of New Caprica]], led by {{callsign|Kat}}, is also called Red Squadron {{TRS|Exodus, Part II}}.

Later, Red Squadron is the callsign of a [[Combat Air Patrol]] led by [[Lee Adama|Apollo]] {{TRS|The Son Also Rises}}.

== Similar terms ==
* [[Red Team]] is the callsign of a group of Vipers on ''{{RDM|Pegasus}}'' {{TRS|Pegasus (episode)}} and later during a training exercise conducted by ''Galactica'' {{TRS|Torn}}.
* In a "[[A Day in the Life]]", Lee Adama orders his pilots to do flying and landing exercises, dividing them into red, blue, yellow and green "sections".

== Notes ==
* Originally it seemed that Red Squadron could be a standing squadron on ''{{RDM|Pegasus}}'' (similar to the naming scheme of the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Original Series]]). However, later the term is used for widely different units, which are led by different people. This suggests that it is merely a callsign to identify the squadrons on the wireless and [[DRADIS]].
