The Royal Meckelnburgh Air Force (RMBAF) is one of the armed services of the United 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 three of its constituent regions (Meckelnburgh, Branniboria, and Iselande).
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 (which is responsible for all search and rescue over the marine environments of Meckelnburgh, Branniboria, 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, in commission as the Board for Air. The Board is responsible for the strategic planning, direction and execution of air force operations. Complementing the Board is the Chief of the Air Staff, a general officer responsible for the day-to-day operation of the air force.
