There are 13 wings across Canada, 11 operational and two used for training.

When an operational wing performs the primary mission of the base, it usually maintains and operates the base.

In addition, an operational wing is capable of self-support in functional areas like maintenance, supply, and munitions, as needed.

When an operational wing is a tenant organization, the host command provides it with varying degrees of base and logistics support.
