A squadron is a small grouping of starships or aircraft.

The Cardassians called a squadron a dai'elk (plural dai'elkor), which was a grouping of five vessels of smaller starships such as the Hideki-class and commanded by a glinn or a kel. (The Dominion War Sourcebook: The Fires of Armageddon)

In the Dominion a squadron was a group of three to six small attack craft such as Jem'Hadar attack ships and commanded by a Vorta Vara'thoran. (The Dominion War Sourcebook: The Fires of Armageddon)

Prior to the First Battle of Chin'toka, the entire Dominion force protecting the star system was only five squadrons. (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets"; Star Trek: Swiftfire: "Into the Fire")

A squadron within Starfleet was usually a grouping of two to four starships or attack fighters. (The Dominion War Sourcebook: The Fires of Armageddon)

Starfleet Starfighter Corps had its squadron sized units based around a grouping of twelve fighters. The officer in command was referred to by the title, Squadron Leader. (Star Trek: Swiftfire)

[edit] Star Trek: Banshee Squadron fighter wing

In Star Trek: Banshee Squadron, the term "squadron" is used very loosely, inaccurately, and interchangeably with the term "wing". A squadron or wing is simply a group of starfighters, usually numbering five, under the command of a Wing Commander.
