That depends on the meaning of the word 'group'. A group is
never a squadron. A group is more than one squadron in the NAC,
(if it follows RAF rules), normally three. In USA terms (WWII),
a group is a collection of 'Wings' made up of three or more
'Squadrons'.
In navy terms, the 'Carrier Air Group' is the collection of
Squadrons assigned to the aircraft carrier.
Just in case I have not understood the question; A figure base
normally has 6 fighter miniatures mounted on it and is considered a
Squadron of 6 (or 12) fighters. I mount a single figure per homemade
base and call it a Squadron. For me, more than 1 Sq is a 'Carrier Air
Group'.
I hope that makes things as clear as mud.
