Themiclesian Air Force Regiment

The Themiclesian Air Force Regiment (Shinasthana: 航校, gang-krawh, lit. "fleet-regiment"; abbr. TAFR) is the ground-based force of the Themiclesian Air Force, composed of a number of companies of riflemen and, later, special forces. Though called a "regiment", its size is not defined by that term and has fluctuated in response to the Air Force's need for security and other ground operations. The TAFR was founded in 1923 on the same grounds as the Tyrannian Royal Air Force's analogue, but its structure or training did not resemble that of the RAF. Currently, its duties include search and rescue operation for downed aircraft, protecting and capturing airfields, and special operations.
