History
Doctrine
The Republic Air Force trains its forces for air superiority and anti-shipping operations. The primary mission is to defend Terra Nostrum should external threats breach the naval forces of the Foreign Interest Defense Command. The Republic Air Force works closely with the Republic Navy's Territorial Water Defense Command, frequently holding joint service drills and readiness exercises.
The Republic Air Force does not put a lot of emphasis on air-to-ground operations. Though the pilots of wings under the Ocean Combat Command are introduced to this and must perform a successful air-to-ground attack to graduate the Ocean Combat Command specific training, it is not practiced frequently after graduation. This has led critics to claim that the Republic Air Force is sorely underprepared to support the Republic Army and Custodes Domicilium should the NRI be invaded. Proponents say that this doctrine emphasizes the ability to prevent threats from even reaching Terra Nostrum in the first place. If the Republic Navy and Air Force do their jobs properly, they will not need to provide close-air-support for ground forces.
