2442 Aircraft Control and Warning Sqn (Auxiliary)
Vancouver, BC

(This OrgO supersedes OrgO R3.0.19.3 dated 28 Dec 54

1 Jun 58

INFORMATION

In accordance with a decision to assign a new role to RCAF Auxiliary Sqns, it has been found desirable to carry out a general reorganization of the RCAF Auxiliary. Under this new concept the Auxiliary Wing Headquarters will be controlling a transport, rather than an air defence, type of activity. However, since the functions of the AC&W Sqns (Aux) will continue to be homogeneous with the functions of ADC, it has been decided that these sqns will in future report directly to 5 Air Div HQ or ADCHQ as applicable. In view of these changes it is necessary to restate the organization of 2442 Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron (Auxiliary( (2442 AC&W Sqn (Aux)).
