The 710th Special Operations Wing is the rapid deployment force of the Philippine Air Force (PAF), which is divided into ten-man airborne attack teams as most of its members are airborne qualified. The wing also controls the 772nd Explosives Ordnance Disposal Squadron and the 773rd K-9 Squadron. It is the successor to the Philippine Army Air Corps Regiment, raised in late 1941 out of the pilots and air crews of the PAAC who took part in the Battle of Bataan.
