Federation Air Forces

The East Asian Federation Air Forces, or FAF, is the aviation branch of the East Asian Federation armed forces responsible for aerospace operations. The FAF is the only service branch of the Federation's armed forces not restricted only to actions in defense of the country. In addition to carrying out combat air patrols around the Federation and maintaining an extensive network of ground and air early warning radar systems, such as the Saikyō Strategic Defense Grid, the Air Forces are used to assist Federation allies in conflicts around the world and to aid in United Nations peacekeeping missions.

Recent advances in aviation technology have made the Federation Air Forces into the world's most mobile military air force, with the ability to deploy anywhere on the planet within hours. The Air Forces have an estimated 335,000 personnel and 948 combat ready aircraft as of 2009. Front-line formations include twenty fighter squadrons, five elite fighter squadrons, two reconnaissance squadrons and eight transport squadrons.
