Queensland University Squadron : ウィキペディア英語版 | Queensland University Squadron
The Queensland University Squadron (QUS) was an active Citizens Air Force (CAF) squadron, being part of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) and tasked with training commissioned officers for the RAAF General Reserve recruited from University of Queensland undergraduates from 1950 to 1973. It trained 600 RAAF commissioned officers over 24 years. == Background == (詳細はNo. 23 (City of Brisbane) Squadron, were first formed as part of the Citizens Air Force (CAF) component of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) in the years prior to World War II. In Australia these squadrons were based on the concept of the Royal Air Force (RAF) CAF Squadrons which were first formed in the United Kingdom in the 1920s and lapsed after World War II. In addition to No. 23 Squadron, other squadrons were formed in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth. They were reformed in 1948 due to the tense atmosphere of the European Cold War and Berlin Blockade and are still operational today, although in a non-flying capacity. In the early 1950s, University Squadrons were formed in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia to provide officer training to undergraduates who would then serve as commissioned officers in the RAAF General Reserve. Training was conducted on a part-time basis over a two-year period for each intake of cadets. Instruction in Air Force administration and law plus practical drill and field exercises at Air Force bases during university holiday periods complemented the cadet's academic training. The Queensland University Squadron (QUS) was formed at the Recruiting Centre, Brisbane, on 31 October 1950 and was disbanded on 25 August 1973 together with the other University Squadrons in Australia after the end of National Service. Its motto was ''Peritus Ac Paratus'' ("Skilled and Ready"). The Squadron's equivalent in the Australian Army is the Queensland University Regiment.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ceremony for the Unveiling of the Badges of the Queensland University Regiment and Squadron – Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia )〕
