Battalion Level
The battalion Level in cluster community does not have a high level commander but is rather only here to show the distinction between ground units and aerial units. Both of these companies will be separately commanded but the aerial companies are usually commanded by a ground FAC (Forwair Air Controller) embedded with ground command. If there are multiple aerial support elements of the same type (e.g. Phantom 1, Phantom 2 etc.) then the first element will act as flight lead and coordinate all elements of the same type. Flight lead can be compared to that of a Squad Leader and each element under his command as fireteams.
