The '''Aerospace Defense Force''' is the air and space force of the [[Hyborian Armed Forces]]. The ADF was first established as the '''Army Flying Signal Corps''' in 1910, later becoming the '''Army Aviation Corps''' in 1914 during the [[2nd Hyborian Continental War]] as a more combat-oriented force. It would be tied to the larger army administration until the late 1940s after the end of the [[3rd Hyborian Continental War]] when it’d be renamed to the '''Army Air Force'''. Following the Federalization of the continent however the force was separated from the army, as the mission profile of the air force expanded greatly to include anti-ballistic missile, asteroid-interception, and emerging space exploration.

ADC is in charge of all ground-based air defenses in Hyboria. Working closely with the Continental Air Command, the ADC defends strategic and tactical interests in Hyboria against enemy attack. It also has deployable forces that can be assigned to the FAC, and to an army unit such as a division or brigade. It also works with the Space Command.
===Forward Air Command===
The Forward Air Command is the primary administration body for all deployed and expeditionary forces outside of continental Hyboria. Established in the 1970s as mobilization and preparation for the Hyborian entry into the [[Omandan Continental War]]. The FAC tackles the challenges that are encountered with expeditionary warfare and its impact on air forces. FAC is not in charge of any development of doctrine or training, but instead is the body in which Tactical Air Command and Strategic Air Command’s training and doctrine are conducted through. It also is the administrative body that all air defense units report to.
===Tactical Air Command===
Tactical Air Command is in charge of frontline aviation, and by extension with the Continental Air Command, regional air defense of Hyboria. TAC develops doctrine and training for fighter, interceptor, and ground attack pilots and aircraft.
====Continental Air Command====
Continental Air Command is in charge of fighter aircraft that protect Hyborian airspace. Two types of units assigned to the CAC exist, those who are permanently assigned for dedicated air defense and interception, such as the [[223rd Fighter-Interceptor Squadron (Hyboria)|223rd Fighter-Interceptor Squadron]], and those who are assigned to the CAC but can be deployed to the FAC as needed. CAC permanent units are known as Fighter-Interceptor Squadrons while non-permanent CAC units are known as Tactical Fighter Squadrons.

The Aerospace Defense Force is the air and space force of the Hyborian Armed Forces. The ADF was first established as the Army Flying Signal Corps in 1910, later becoming the Army Aviation Corps in 1914 during the 2nd Hyborian Continental War as a more combat-oriented force. It would be tied to the larger army administration until the late 1940s after the end of the 3rd Hyborian Continental War when it’d be renamed to the Army Air Force. Following the Federalization of the continent however the force was separated from the army, as the mission profile of the air force expanded greatly to include ballistic missile defense, asteroid-interception, and emerging space exploration.

It would get its final name, the Aerospace Defense Force in 1960. In the post-Omandan Continental War environment, the ADF is one of the largest air forces in the world.

The ADF conducts independent air operations along with providing aerial support for the Hyborian Army and to the Hyborian Navy.
