Responsibilities and Composition

The Joint Special Forces Aviation Wing (JSFAW) was formed on 2 April 2001, bringing together 657 Squadron Army Air Corps (AAC) and 7 Squadron RAF into a single unit to provide Lynx and Chinook in support of United Kingdom Special Forces. The Wing is under the peacetime command of the Station Commander of RAF Odiham, but the single Services retain full command of their respective personnel. In 2008, the Wing incorporated 8 Flight Army Air Corps (AAC).
