Osean Maritime Defense Force

The Osean Maritime Defense Force, OMDF, is one of the world’s largest naval strike forces. Its only competitor is the Yuktobanian Navy. The OMDF's 3rd Osean Naval Fleet has significance in the latter half of Ace Combat 5, as it is involved in the Operation Glory Horn, and needs to be escorted in one of Ace Combat Zero's missions. Most of the fleet was destroyed in the Circum-Pacific War due to the Yuktobanian advanced submarine Scinfaxi and a surprise attack on the docks which they were resting on.

General Information
Osean Federation introduced its newest ship, the OFS Kestrel, (state-of the-art aircraft carrier). in 1995 during the Belkan War. Her captain during this war was Captain Weeker. This Nimitz-class supercarrier is able to carry more carrier aircraft than earlier aircraft carriers. Osean Federation still operates the F-14A Tomcat, F-14B Bombcat, and F-14D Super Tomcat and is adding the F/A-18E Super Hornet,F/A-18C Hornet and F-35C Lightning II to its fighter support squadrons.

There also are three other known carrier battle groups, those led by the Buzzard, the Vulture, and the Barbett. The latter three were totally wiped out in combat with the Yuktobanians (Vulture and Buzzard), and the Kestrel itself (Barbett).

During the Belkan War in 1995, in Operation Costner, the 66th AFU Galm defends the 3rd Osean Naval Fleet, along with the OFS Kestrel, from two flanking attacks by Belkan Air Force units. Although greatly outnumbered, the Osean fleet managed to pull through with minor damage. The 3rd Osean Naval Fleet was heading into the Osean Great Lakes area to provide aerial support for Osean and Allied ground forces.

Fifteen years after Operation Costner, the OFS Kestrel was again thrust into war when the Yuktobanian Air Force and Yuktobanian Navy launched an air raid on Port St. Hewlett, an Osean naval base, both by air and sea. The Wardog Squadron was sent in to defend the OFS Kestrel at any cost. Later in the war, the OMDF shipped a battalion from the Osean Self Defense Force to the Bastok Peninsula in Yuktobania, where they made an Operation Footprint.

On or around December 7, 2010, the Kestrel, as well as a number of other ships, probably from the 3rd Osean Naval Fleet, split from the OMDF and formed the OFS Kestrel battle group. The OFS Kestrel battle group knew that the Belkans were the true enemy, and silently split from the OMDF to fight the Belkans. The OFS Kestrel carried four known fighters,Ghosts of Razgriz, who were launched on various missions against Belka.

Then, on December 29th 2010, during Operation Glory Horn, an Osean battle group lead by the OFS Barbett, another OMDF carrier and the OFS Kestrel's sister ship, detected upon a fight between Admiral Tsanev Fleet and the OFS Kestrel battle group. Since the OFS Kestrel battle group had working with President Harling's command, the hostile Osean battle group is enter firing range at the OFS Kestrel battle group. However, entire enemy forces wipe out.
