Norocosian Air Force

The Norocosian Air Defense Force (Puwersang Pananggol ng Himpapawid ng Norokoshiya/PPHN, ノロコシア航空防衛軍/Norokoshia kōkū bōei-gun/NKBG) is the aerial defense arm of the Norocosian Armed Forces, which is tasked with defending the aerial domain of the Federal Republic. 
Formed in 2034, it is the third primary arm of the NAF and one of the most well funded among the four branches.
Its headquarters is situated at "Lykoris" Air Force Base (formerly Villamor Air Force Basehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villamor_Air_Base), neighboring Aiiro-kyo International Airport (AKIA) and is headed by the Commanding General of the Air Defense Force, holding a rank of Army Lieutenant General. The current CGADF is Asahi Yumeko, a veteran of both the Eurasian War and the Norocosian Crises
==History==
===Formation===
Following the independence of the Federal Republic of Norocosia from the Northern United Front, many former pilots from both the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and the Armed Forces of the Philippines in Luzon joined the ranks of the newly-formed Norocosian Air Corps. Most of its equipment was mostly appropriated from private owners and flying institutes. During this time, the Air Force composed of 6 Cessna 320s, 18 Cessna 172s, and 7 UH-60 helicopters inherited from the Philippine Air Force.
The Provisional Air Corps was upgraded to Air Force status by Republican Declaration No. 1, signed by then-President Hikan Tekihito Kishida. This also included the formation of its first squadrons, No. 1 Squadron "Tadano" and No. 2 Squadron "Otori". The 7 UH-60s of the Air Force were transferred to the Army Aviation Division "Kaskade" via Joint Staff Order 20. 
Following Republican Declaration No. 1, the Federal Government reached out overseas to receive materials for the fledgling air force. Initially, the EU-based military outsource corporation named "Indigo" sourced Russian-made Tu-200 and Ukrainian An-20M heavy transport aircraft, but with the start of the Naya Prefecture Insurgency, British Aerospace Systems (BAE) won a bid for a multirole jet trainer known as the Hawk II. Over the years, nearly 200 or so Hawk IIs of differing configurations were commissioned into service either as attack craft, advanced fighter-trainers, point-defense interceptors, photo reconnaissance, and even electronic disruption aircraft. 
===The Kitanaya Prefecture (North Camarines) Insurgency===
On Labor Day, 2035, members of the Revolutionary Front for the Liberation of Camarines (RFLC), attacked members of the Provisional Norocosian Army in the town of Daet, which is currently in Kitanaya Prefecture. This altercation escalated further as detachments of the RFLC began attacking across into Southern Quezon (Nanpō Kezon) Prefecture. 
The NADF was quick to respond, with the No. 3 Attack Squadron "Usagi" based off the coast of the Polillo Islands raining a barrage of rockets onto the insurgents, enabling the Norocosian Army's mountaineers to contain the insurgents to the confines of Kitanaya. Following this incident, more assets were acquired for the Norocosian Air Defense Force, which included Hermes 900 UCAVs from Elbit Systems.
The NAF, along with the State Police and the Federated National Guard began a long war of attrition against the RFLC insurgents, causing many to either surrender or conduct suicide attacks. By mid-2039, dwindling supplies forced the RFLC to conduct guerrilla warfare against local police and FNG troops, whom repelled the attacks with ease. While the severity of these attacks decreased with each passing year, its frequency unfortunately did not, which was presented with the occurrence of the Commemoration Day Attacks along with the massacre of a joint task force in Hokkaido.
During the Quán Administration, the Air Force was cut of its funding, leading to many of its assets losing combat-ready status. As a result with this, the Air Force had to drastically reduce its aerial attacks on the RFLC, causing a resurgence in attacks against both civilian and military targets. During the SNC (Second Norocosian Crisis), this enabled the RFLC to collaborate with Davaoeno troops in order to breach the Southeastern Wall, which allowed the swift capture of Yōsai-kyo (Lucena)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucena during the middle stages of the war. 
===Presidency of Lee Quán===
In the aftermath, the Federal Government began a purge of alleged "dissident officials", either through assassination or grave threats of loss of position and citizenship. Under President Lee Quán, his naval-based defense posture, along with the withholding of the budgets of most of the branches (in order to complete this goal), were one of many directives which eventually culminated in the Kanazawa Crisis (also known as the Kanazawa Uprising), where then-Prime Minister Yuri Kanazawa staged a mass rebellion among the armed forces and the civil service, leading to thousands of deaths and the consolidation of the president's power over the Executive Branch.
Reduced funding and suppression of sorties took a severe toll on the force's combat readiness, with its aircraft facing major amounts of decay during inactivity. This was only worsened when an incident with British citizens in Aiiro-kyo in September 2043 resulted in the UK partially cutting military aid with Norocosia, which included spares for the Hawk II multirole aircraft.
