HQ Squadrons

[T Rav]

Are the HQ squadrons (ex. the 51st PG, hq sqn) there for historical OOB only, or is there a particular use for them?

Thanks,

Mostly history, though having a small air unit here and there can be handy in the early going sometimes.

That's kind of what I'd guessed.  I wasn't sure if the units could re-form as single Groups instead of staying as multiple Squadrons. 
 
So how about a follow-on question?  Since many of the HQ Sqns are led by higher ranking leaders and usually are of a higher experience level, do you fill them out with veterans and use them as "elite" squadrons, or do you fill them with rookies and use them as on-map training squadrons?
 
This game has so many nuances...
