What is the designation of a unit with fewer than 11 TIG/TIS-eligible Airmen?

The designation of a unit with fewer than 11 TIG (Time in Grade) / TIS (Time in Service)-eligible Airmen is referred to as a small unit. This classification is important for various administrative procedures and personnel management within a military context, as it helps structure units according to their size and the resources available to them. Understanding these designations helps ensure that the appropriate policies and practices are applied to units based on their composition, which can impact mission readiness and support mechanisms.

The term 'small unit' specifically denotes a unit that has limited personnel resources, which can affect its operational capabilities and the management of its Airmen. The other designations, such as medium, large, and extra-small units, refer to different thresholds of eligible Airmen, and thus are not applicable when the number is fewer than 11.
