The Special Air Insertion Regiment (SAIR) is an elite special forces unit that operates under the Timerian Air Force. Initially formed during the World War in 1950, the unit was created to conduct deep strikes into enemy territory using gliders and other airborne insertion techniques. Their primary objective was to infiltrate deep behind enemy lines, gather critical intel, and execute strategic missions to cripple enemy forces.

History

Formation and Early Years

The roots of the Special Air Insertion Regiment (SAIR) can be traced back to the tumultuous period of The World War. As the global conflict intensified, military strategists recognized the need for a highly specialized force capable of conducting deep strikes into enemy territory. In 1950, as the war raged on, the SAIR was formally established under the vision of General Mitchell McCallum, a visionary leader with a deep understanding of unconventional warfare and the importance of airborne insertions. General McCallum handpicked a select group of elite soldiers, pilots, and intelligence operatives from various branches of the Timerian military. These skilled individuals underwent rigorous training in airborne operations, combat tactics, reconnaissance, and intelligence gathering. The unit was christened as the Special Air Insertion Regiment (SAIR), with its headquarters located at Harrison Field Air Base, a symbolic tribute to General Jonathan Harrison, a legendary aviator and military strategist.

Modern Era and Global Engagements

As the world evolved, so did the SAIR. In the ensuing decades, the unit actively participated in numerous international conflicts and security operations. From supporting allied forces in the 2022 Invasion of Azil to conducting precision strikes against high-value targets during Operation Red Monkey, the SAIR's contributions on the global stage were consistently instrumental in promoting regional stability and safeguarding Timeria's interests.
