    Initially the Irish Dragoons had an air contingent known as the 111th Close Assault Group which could trace its history back to the early 1900' of Old Terra. Over time the Dragoons added the 23rd Heavy Bombardment Squadron and the 52nd Airborne Transport Command.

    After the capture of a Clan Donair helicopter, the 109th Helicopter Assault Team was formed. This group became designated the 888th Close Support Group. However, following the arrival of the Irish Dragoons as members of the Royal Alterian Armed Forces, things slowly began to change. The 888th C.S.G. supported the ground units of the Dragoons in combat and transportation operations but didn’t have Aerospace capability. As such the 360th began to be called on more and more to provide the air umbrella for Dragoon operations. After numerous, successful operations with the Dragoons, the commanders of the 360th requested to be transferred to the Irish Dragoons Division. Being an independent, mercenary unit in and of itself, the 360th had the right to make the request. Although this initially caused a great uproar in the R.A.A.F. high command, it was eventually decided to grant the request as long as the Wing could still be called on to support Bengal's Tiger Brigade when necessary.

    Because of the long history and well established reputation of the 360th Aerospace Wing, the Irish Dragoons command agreed to allow the unit to retain its unit colors and command structure. It was also decided that it would be redundant to have multiple, independent air units, so the Dragoons' 888th Close Support Group was brought into the 360th Wing’s command structure providing a unified command. The 888th decided to keep their cherished Irish Dragoons color scheme. The combined units of the 360th Wing and 888th Group were renamed the 21st Combined Air Group. Thus the 21st C.A.G. is made up of the 360th Aerospace Wing, 111st C.A.S., 23rd H.B.S., 52nd A.T.C., and 109th H.A.T. air units. The Irish Dragoons Special Air Group is nominally under the 21st's command structure also.
