[font=Agency FB]Space Command is the center point for all Space operations conducted under the Air Force. The leader of Space Command is a chosen Air Force 4 star General who appoints two [color=#99FFFF]3 star Generals to act as his advisors and heirs.
Space Command is the equivalent to the Navy's High Command.

[font=Agency FB]With the Liberty Navy being the largest fighting force in Sirius the Air Force assets became very safe from Orbital attacks. Airfields, Air Force equipment and personnel were some of the safest out of all the branches of the military. Not wanting to be made completely redundant the General of the Air Force decided it could support the Navy in space by not just flying supplies to Navy depots on the planets surface from the factories. And so, in result the Command in Chief gave permission to create the Air Force's Space Command.

Space Command controls, monitors and handles everything to do with space operations and spacecraft with the Air Force. The leader of Space Command is the appointed General Daniel Winters.

The Navy dominates space and space combat with Liberty's multiple enemies but Air Force Space Command was not formed so that they could send Air Force pilots in Navy equipment to fight in bulk toe to toe with the enemy whoever they may be. Instead the Air Force, with only twenty current pilots (Estimates of roughly 100 by the end of the year) operates as a support force for the Navy. The Air Force assaults the enemy space with the Navy or if the time comes, by itself with a small force. Additionally, the Air Force is not a responding force for law enforcement or piracy acts. Its equipment and pilots are too valuable when in reality a Navy, Security Force or Police pilot would be on station just as quickly.

However there have been cases when Air Force pilots did get tangled into a brawl with the pirates. This has only ever been the case if a trading vessel reaches the pilots local area and calls for aid. Other situations include if the Air Force pilot drops out of the trade lane and catches a trader or vessel in danger. In these situations it is expected of pilots to act in a defensive manner however if the odds of survival are slim, they are expected to always fall back and regroup.

During the last few months of 818 A.S, the Air Force began to design and build their own space ship. Unique to themselves. However progress has been limited due to funding. It is expected to be not until 820 A.S before a fleet of Air Force space fighters can be deployed.

For now, Air Force space combat regulations include limited contact and engagements with pirates and other unlawful groups and more centralised to Rheinland invasions, Alien threats, Order threats and the defense of Bretonia (Leeds & Edinburgh). The Spacecraft Carrier The United States is being deployed under Navy Command with Air Force pilots to Bretonia to support the effort against the oncoming Gallic fleets.

The Spacecraft Carriers Bridge

[font=Agency FB]At the current moment, Air Force Space Command is primarily based from a Liberty Navy Carrier called The Hornet. Inside the carrier are a number of snub craft all belonging to Space Command. However planet-side facilities also support a handful of Spacecraft. The Personnel that support the Carrier are all transfer from top performance airfields and land bases belonging to the Air Force. The Navy commands the carrier, the commander is a highly decorated Navy officer and the gun crews along with support crews are all Navy personnel. The only Air Force part of the Carrier is the pilots, spacecrafts and engineer and maintenance crews.

Liberty Carrier was developed for combat situations where ability to carry and support numerous smaller crafts is crucial for victory. This ship can hold dozens of fighters deep inside its heavy hull, safe from enemy capital weaponry. Huge docking bay allows to dispatch fighters quickly - or recall them if hostile forces are prevailing.

Built in early 813 A.S as a strike carrier for the Liberty Navy, it has served in the Rheinland War for all of its time. Never been put out of action to date and only been sent to the docks for combat repairs twice during its six years.

[font=Agency FB]Once in space in either a default shared fighter or in their own fighter, pilots will rally up into squadrons with a call sign such as Juliet Squadron or Lima Squadron. Each comprised of two to four pilots. This will help with combat organization and leadership. Highest ranking pilot will take control of a Squadron and lead it until a superior comes to either relieve them of command or to command their and all other squadrons present.
