Royal Norsan Air Force very WIP
The role of the Norsan Air Force over the decades has been, first and foremost, to defend Norstham and her interests, with Naval air power providing and expeditionary capability. However, with the ever-growing amount of integration and cooperation between allied militaries, the RNAF maintains multiple overseas bases.

The RNAF is organised into Commands, which organise and control bases and other entities under their jurisdiction. Presently, the active commands are the following:
Air Combat Command
Bomber Command
Intelligence Command
Logostics Command
Electronic Warfare Command
Training Command
Under Commands are Bases, which are commanded by a group captain. There are bases located throughout Norstham and in several other countries throughout the Isles. Bases are subdivided into administrative wings, which are commanded by a wing commander. Types of administrative wing are as follows:
Operations Administrative Wing
Forward Support Administrative Wing
Depth Support Administrative Wing
Tactical Support Administrative Wing
Base Support Administrative Wing
Additionally, there are Operational Wings under the administrative support wing of each base. These perform actual aircraft operations.
Finally there are Squadrons, which carry out actual operations and are responsible for the day-to-day operation and maintenance of the aircraft themselves. Squadrons can be awarded honours, and have history going back to activities in World War Two. Most Squadrons are commanded by a wing commander, and for combat aircraft, are responsible for between 10 and 15 aircraft.
Squadrons are subdivided into flights, usually two per squadron for combat squadrons. When a flying unit only operates a small amount of aircraft (a small overseas base, for instance), that unit may be designated a flight rather than a squadron.
