Red Squadron was a Resistance squadron of starfighters that operated for a number of decades following the Battle of Endor. In the Battle of Takodana, it acted as a support unit for Blue Squadron.
Commander Poe Dameron led Red Squadron in the Battle of Starkiller Base, where they fought alongside Blue Squadron.
While protecting an Intersystem Transport Ship that was departing Batuu with new Resistance recruits, Poe Dameron, and a pilot known as "Blue Five," First Order TIE fighters attacked the ship. The pilot "Red Two" was killed when his fighter was shot down.
