Information below.

The Italian Republic is divided into four Air Regions.
Northern Italy
Central Italy
Southern Italy, Sicily & Sardinia
Tripolitania & Cyrenaica
Each region has a dedicated Air Defense Division, and any number of Air Divisions and smaller units.

At the Squadron level, units of the Aeronautica Militare are deployed as follows. Most common service types for each are noted, tho individual squadrons may differ.

Fighter Squadron
-4 Flights of 4 aircraft (Fiat G.55)
-4 Additional aircraft (Same type as combat flights)
-2 Utility aircraft (Caproni Ca.313 OR Macchi-Savoia-Marchetti SM.102 OR Breda-CANT Z.1012)

Bomber Squadron
-3 Flights of 4 aircraft (Breda Ba.67 OR Caproni Ca.1001)
-3 additional aircraft (Same type as combat flights)
-4 Utility aircraft (Caproni Ca.313 OR Macchi-Savoia-Marchetti SM.102 OR Breda-CANT Z.1012)

Reconnaissance Squadron
-3 Flights of 4 aircraft (Cierva R1, OR Caproni Ca.313 or Caproni Ca.1001 OR Breda-CANT Z.506)
-3 additional aircraft (Same type as combat flights)
-4 Utility aircraft (Caproni Ca.313 OR Macchi-Savoia-Marchetti SM.102 OR Breda-CANT Z.1012)

Air Transport Squadron
-6 aircraft (Caproni Ca.133 OR Macchi-Savoia-Marchetti SM.95 OR Macchi-Savoia-Marchetti SM.102)

As and intermediary between squadron and divisional organization, the following formations are used. These units are the smallest that would be detached from a Air Division as unique assests.

Fighter Stormo
-3 Fighter Squadrons

Bomber Stormo
-4 Bomber Squadrons
-1 Reconnaissance Squadron

Logistical Support Unit
-12 Air Transport Squadrons

There are two types of Air Divisions in the Aeronautica Militare. Both of these represent the largest organizational groups of the Aeronautica Militare that are not fixed by geography. The Technical Support Unit is representative of ground base assets organic to the division.

Air Division
-2 Fighter Stormo
-3 Bomber Stormo
-Technical Support Unit
-Logistical Support Unit

Air Defense Division
-4 Fighter Stormo
-1 Reconnaissance Squadron (note: Will not be equiped with Cierva R1)
-Technical Support Unit
-Logistical Support Unit

The Aeronautica Militare has a few units that fall outside of the normal group structure, these are listed below along with there function.

Long Range Photoreconnaissance Group: Assigned to the Central Italy region, this group is the sole user of the Ermes Strategic Reconnaissance aircraft. 24 airframes are in use as ready aircraft, replacement airframes, and dedicated trainers. The group also uses several light aircraft for utility duties.
