Carrier Air Group SIX

The first Carrier Air Group to use the designation Carrier Air Group Six was established on 15 March 1943. It was constituted from the squadrons of the Enterprise Air Group which had been disestablished on 1 September 1942 and was initially assigned to USS Enterprise (CV-6). Due to the manner in which the United States Navy determines unit lineage, in which a unit's lineage begins at establishment and ends at disestablishment, the Enterprise Air Group and Carrier Air Group Six are two separate and distinct units and do not share a lineage.^{[1][page needed]}
