The Commander Air Group (more commonly known as the CAG) is the senior pilot aboard a Battlestar and is responsible for all flight operations.
Battlestar Galactica
The current CAG of the Battlestar Galactica is Captain Louanne "Kat" Katraine.
She follows Kara "Starbuck" Thrace, who has been stranded on New Caprica. Thrace succeeded [Lee Adama|Lee "Apollo" Adama]], who has been promoted to Commander of Battlestar Pegasus. Apollo assumed the position as CAG following the death of Captain Jackson "Ripper" Spencer. Spencer was killed in the opening minutes of the Cylon Attack on the Twelve Colonies. ("Miniseries")
During Lee Adama's brief defection, the role of CAG was temporarily given to Captain George "Catman" Birch. Adama resumed the position upon his return. ("Home, Part I")
Battlestar Pegasus
The current CAG of the Battlestar Pegasus is Captain Cole "Stinger" Taylor.
For a short time, Kara "Starbuck" Thrace was the CAG on Pegasus when Admiral Cain promoted her from Lieutenant to Captain after witnessing her daring reconnoiter of the Cylon Resurrection Ship. ("Resurrection Ship, Part I")
Note
"CAG" is a US Navy term that has gained widespread recognition through films such as Top Gun and television series such as JAG. While the term CAG is technically obsolete as Air Groups are now known as Air Wings, it is nevertheless still used, especially on an informal level.
