The Royal Acrean Air Force is the aerial and space warfare branch of Acrea, a part of the Acrean Armed Forces. It was formed in 1915 as a successor to the Royal Army Air Service, and at the time of its creation was the largest air force in the region. It is the youngest branch of the armed forces. The RAAF is administered by the Ministry of Defence and is led by the Chief of the General Staff. Since its creation, the RAAF has served a major role in every conflict Acrea has been involved with since. It maintains a long tradition of innovation and development, and is responsible for numerous aeronautical milestones in Tyran.

Missions and Doctrine

Organisation

The highest level of command in the Acrean Air Force is the Acrean Joint Headquarters (Nordic: Nordriges operative hovudkvarter), or HKV, led by the Supreme Commander (Nordic: Øverstekommando) and which reports to the Chief of Defence Staff. Subordinate to the HKV is the Air Force Command (Nordic: Luftvåbnetskommando) or LVK, led by the Chief of the Air Force.

From 19, the RAAF has been divided into the Air Forces (Nordic: Luftstyrker) and the Air Defence Forces (Nordic: Luftforsvarsstyrker), though the two were consolidated in 1998. The Luftstyrker composed the bulk of the RAAF's tactical aviation fleet and was responsible for general combat operations, but also possessed the RAAF's strategic and logistical air capabilities. The Luftforsvarsstyrker was always the smaller of the two, and was tasked specifically with the defence of Acrean and allied airspace. The command structures for these two parts of the RAAF were separated beneath LKV, and because of their mission sets also pursued the procurement of different combat aircraft. The divide became more prominent in the 1960s, with the Luftstyrker usually pursuing flexible multirole fighters whereas the Luftforsvarsstyrker opted for procuring large, heavy, high speed aircraft with long range armament to perform its air defence and interception missions.

The structure of the RAAF was radically altered with reforms starting in the early 1980s that instead organised the RAAF into two new separate commands, the Combat Air Force (Nordic: Stridsluftvåbnet or SLV) and the Strategic Air Force (Nordic: Strategiskluftvåbnet or SKLV), finally consolidating all tactical aviation under the same command. This change was part of a wider push towards enhancing joint operations between differently tasked components of the air force, as well as with the Marine and Naval air arms.

In 2013, following another set of institutional reforms, the SLV and SKLV were integrated into the newly established Joint Air Command (Nordic: Operative Luftkommando or OLK), which integrates the commands for all RAAF, RAMC, and RAN fixed-wing aviation.
