sentai
In Japanese, is a military unit and may be literally translated as "squadron", "task force", "group" or "wing". The terms "regiment" and "flotilla", while sometimes used as translations of ''Sentai'', are also used to refer to larger formations.
==World War II==
It is perhaps best known as a term used during World War II by the military of the Empire of Japan, for Imperial Japanese Army Air Service (IJAAS) and Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service (IJNAS) military aviation units equivalent to a group or wing in other air forces. However, the term had slightly different meanings in the IJAAS and the IJNAS.
An IJAAS ''Sentai'' was made up of two to four squadrons (''chūtai''). In the IJAAS, two or more ''Sentai'' comprised a ''hikōdan'' (air brigade). In the later stages of World War II, the IJAAS abolished ''chūtai'' and divided its ''sentai'' into ''hikōtai'' (flying units) and ''seibitai'' (maintenance units). A ''sentai'' commander (''sentaichō'') was generally a Lieutenant Colonel.
In the IJNAS, a ''sentai'' was a larger unit: a ''Kōkūtai'' was the equivalent of an IJAAS ''sentai''. Several ''sentai'' made up a ''kantai'' (air fleet). In the IJNAS, a ''Sentaichō'' was usually a Naval Captain.
