The Fuersas L'Aire Iverica (FLAIR), serves as the primary aerospactial warfare service branch of the Republican Armed Service (RAS). It is based mainly on terrestrial airfields and air bases, operating as a defensive and supporting force for other branches of the RAS.

The FLAIR operates air-superiority, multi-role, ground-attack, anti-ship, reconnaissance, transport, cargo, survey, and other utilities. Headquartered at Corregidor Air Base, the FLAIR is the second most well-funded branch of service, receiving 25% of the annual defence budget. It employs 110,000 personnel of varying ranks and duties.

Doctrine

The Fuersas L'Aire operates as the backbone of the Exersito's aerial support structure, and at the same time, operates as a primary aerial-warfare body. In the event of an attack on the Iverican home territories, the FLAIR will carry out sorties and missions to secure the supremacy of Iverican airspace. If intelligence suggests a significant disadvantage in terms of manpower or technology, the FLAIR will attempt to achieve air parity by seeking more conservative, attrition-based operations to expend as much enemy munitions and fuel as possible.

Working in great conjunction with the Exersito means that the logistical arm and ground-attack arm of the Air Force will be at constant liaison with Exersito officers. Fuersas L'Aire doctrine suggests a reliance on the many, widely dispersed rugged airstrips in carrying out harassment and flanking deployments of paratroopers. This constant pressure of a combined land and air assault will attempt to overwhelm and overextend enemy ground forces while contesting air-supremacy at the same time.

Organisation

Operating out of Corregidor Air Base (CAB), the Fuersas L'Aire maintains at least one air base in each of Iverica's 5 largest cities and several other auxiliary air bases and airfields in strategic areas around Iverica. Each province maintains at least one Air Force Headquarters with not less than one flight of fighters on station at any given time.

Orders from CAB are passed to the Provincial commands or the foreign theatre commands (during wartime), and from there relayed to several small low-maintenance airfields kept operational for the benefit of surprise and flexibility. These smaller facilities are unpaved and typically only house a few rugged STOL aircraft. The ubiquity of these facilities means that the FLAIR can maintain supply, reconnaissance and disruptive operations in the contingency of a successful strike and incapacitation of centralised command.
