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

Edit
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.
