The air force is tasked with safeguarding the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Kingdom, the RMAF bears the primary responsibility for aerial defense operations within Meckelnburgh's airspace.
The core mission of the RMBAF is the protection and defense of Meckelnburgh's airspace. This encompasses monitoring, patrolling and safeguarding the aerial boundaries of the Kingdom.

The RMBAF is also tasked with search-and-rescue operations over the land territory of Meckelnburgh. It is thus the territorial counterpart to the Royal Meckelnburgh Saeweard.
