The Royal Meckelnburgh Air Force (RMBAF) is one of the eight uniformed services of the Kingdom of Meckelnburgh and the military flying force of the nation. 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 air force maintains a fleet of standby aircraft in each of its constituent regions (Meckelnburgh, the Prince-Archabbacy of Salem and the Grand Duchy of Iselande). The RMBAF is also tasked with search-and-rescue operations over the land territory of metropolitan Meckelnburgh. It is thus the territorial counterpart to the Royal Meckelnburgh Saeweard (which is also responsible for all search and rescue over Salem and Iselande).

Units and facilities

The Royal Meckelnburgh Air Force is under ultimate civilian control. At the apex of the command structure is the First Lord of the Air Staff, in commission as the Board for Air. The Board is responsible for the strategic planning, direction, and execution of air force operations.
