The C-12 RAG was its' own squadron up there at NAS Norfolk wasn't it; until they switched to civilian training.

The C-12 FRS was its own unit. They shared the hangar with VR-56 which was right next door to us (VRC-40). I saw an old picture in the squadron one day that had the COD and what looked like a T-1 that we used to fly CONUS. I am not sure where to get more info about it, but it caught me off guard.
