More literal translations include "pursuit group" (the US term for fighter groups prior to 1942) and "hunting group" (similar to the German language Jagdgruppe or JG).

A group de chasse may include one to four escadrilles, each of which comprises 10–12 aircraft. The commanding officer of a GC is usually a Commandant, Lieutenant-colonel or Colonel.
