The Osean Air Defense Force or O.A.D.F is the air arm of the Osean Federation's military. It is one of the largest air forces in the world, and is likely only rivaled by the Yuktobanian Air Force in size.

It took part in the Belkan War and the Circum-Pacific War during respectively 1995 and 2010.

History

The first known bellic involvement of the Osean Air Defense Force took place in 1995, in the midst of the Belkan War. After the Belkan Federation began their offensive against neighboring nations, the Osean military secured an alliance with the Republic of Ustio, forming a coalition known as the "Allied Forces". The OADF actively participated in various operations of the war, such as Operation: Battle-Axe and the bombing of Hoffnung. After the war ended, the Air Force recruited a number of Belkan ace pilots, which formed the basis of the 8492nd Squadron.

Fifteen years later, the OADF returned to action in the Circum-Pacific War of 2010 with Yuktobania, their former ally in the war. The Air Force played an important role through the course of the war, defending Osean from the initial Yuktobanian offensive and later participating in the invasion of the country. In particular, the 108th Tactical Fighter Squadron of the 5th Wing became a major source of morale for Osean forces, gaining a reputation as "demons" after sinking Yuktobania's underwater aircraft carrier, the Hrimfaxi.

Overview

The Osean Air Force follows a traditional air force structure. The force is mainly divided into large groups, wings, which in turn are divided into smaller groups, squadrons. The OADF is under the jurisdiction of the "Air Combat Commando" group, while the body responsible for commanding the force itself is the Osean Air Defense Force Central Command, or "Central" for short.

Trivia

  • In the European release of Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War, the name of the OADF is changed to "Osean Air Defence Force", following British spelling conventions.
  • The Osean Air Defense Force (as portrayed in AC5) is based on the real-world United States Air Force (USAF), bearing distinctly similar service dress uniforms, flightsuits, aircraft, rank structure, and organizational structure (albeit outdated; the USAF stopped using the Air Division command level in 1992). However it should be noted that in the USAF, Airman First Class is an enlisted rank and in the USAF enlisted personnel cannot serve as pilots or undergo flight training.
