航空母艦打擊群

美國海軍喬治·華盛頓號航空母艦打擊群
航空母艦打擊群 （carrier strike group，簡稱CSG）是美國海軍軍事單位之一，由約7500軍事人員組成，打擊群包括一艘航空母艦、至少一艘巡洋艦，一支驅逐艦隊（最少兩艘驅逐艦或巡防艦）及一支航空母艦飛行大隊。
航空母艦打擊群也可能同時含有核子動力潛艇、兩棲攻擊艦及補給艦。航空母艦打擊群的指揮官一般直屬於該水域的編號艦隊，並通過其向指定陸上或海上目標，進行戰鬥、戰術及戰略攻擊任務。

**現有航空母艦打擊群**

**已取消的航空母艦打擊群**
航空母艦打擊群4在2004轉為大西洋打擊訓練群。
航空母艦打擊群6，2004重組不過現已取消。
航空母艦打擊群15已取消並將母艦轉為航空母艦打擊群7
航空母艦打擊群7因為經費問題縮減於2011解除合併入航空母艦打擊群9。

**飛行大隊**
海軍的飛行大隊（Carrier Air Wing）與海軍陸戰隊的飛行大隊（Marine Aircraft Group）及空軍大隊（Group）同級，與空軍聯隊（Wing）不同級。
現有的航空母艦飛行大隊包括8支中隊及1支分遣隊：
*4支戰鬥機中隊
**4支F/A-18中隊或3支F/A-18中隊及1支F-35中隊
**每隊10架F/A-18E/F超級大黃蜂式打擊戰鬥機
**每隊14架F-35C閃電II戰鬥機
*1支電子戰鬥機中隊，配備7架EA-18G咆哮者電子作戰機
*1支預警機中隊，配備4至5架E-2空中預警機
*1支海洋作戰直升機中隊，配備8架MH-60S海鷹
*1支海上打擊直升機中隊，配備11架MH-60R海鷹，其中3至5架位於護航艦隊
*1支艦隊物流支援中隊分遣隊，配備2架C-2灰狗式運輸機或4架V-22魚鷹式傾斜旋翼機
美國海軍共有2支艦隊物流支援中隊，執行到艦補給任務（Carrier onboard delivery）。每艘航空母艦搭載由2架運輸機組成的分遣隊一同出海。艦隊物流支援中隊將會改用魚鷹傾斜旋翼機，讓運輸機也可以停泊在兩棲戰艦及補給艦上，提升工作效率。
