- "Driving a fighter that vows to be always knightly and proud."
- ― Lancer Motto[citation needed]
The Lancer Squadron was a former Usean Allied Forces unit that defected to coup d'état forces in the Usean coup d'état. The unit was led by Albert Wahlberg.
History[]
At some early point in the Usean coup d'état, the Lancer Squadron defected to the coup d'état forces that opposed the treaty signing with the Osean government.[1]
The Lancer Squadron had been patrolling the Lambert Mountains since the beginning of the war, shooting down multiple Allied aircraft in the vicinity.[2]
On March 31, 1998, Lancer engaged Phoenix over the mountain range after the latter had shot down a rebel transport unit. Despite Lancer's tactics, the squadron was ultimately defeated.[3]
The fate of the squadron's members after the battle are uncertain.

Trivia[]
- Because of their attitude towards Phoenix being a Mercenary pilot and their constant reference towards themselves as Knights, coupled with Albert Wahlberg's TAC name being "Pride" and that Lancer is the first elite squadron faced in-game, it is entirely possible that Lancer Squadron was intended to be a reference to the Belkan Air Force's Rot Team. Note that when they enter, their dialog towards Phoenix mirrors almost precisely what Rot's Detlef Fleisher said towards Galm Team.
- In Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception, there is an ace by the name of "LANCER" who appears in Firestorm. The ace uses a MiG-1.44.
