This is a list of Royal Air Force ground trades.
All Royal Air Force (RAF) enlisted airmen of each ground trade in the RAF are currently assigned into a numbered Trade Group (TG), under which it operates for administrative command and control.
[1][2] Originally, ground trades in the RAF were organised by specialisms into groups numbering I, II, III, IV, and V, along with M for any medical associated trades.
[3] By 1951, the Royal Air Force had established twenty-two official Trade Groups, as shown below.
[5] With further subsequent amalgamations, only seventeen of the original Trade Groups existed until 2022, when branch and trade was discontinued as an identifier, with personnel being allocated to professions instead.
