Many of the former and active Squadrons of the [[French Air and Space Force]] have direct lineage links to many of the "dissolved" squadrons. In addition, each Squadron has for military awards and decorations, and a [[Fanion]] (squadron standard).
The Air Force has undergone many echelon (ranking) changes at the level of Escadre ([[Wing (military unit)|Wing]]), [[Squadron (aviation)|Escadron]]/Squadrons and [[Escadrille]]. The traditions and accomplishments of many Escadre, Escadron and the [[Lafayette Escadrille]] and other units can be traced back to [[World War I]].
Squadrons include the following:
