The Luso Wars, or more correctly, the Carto-Porlosi conflict, was a series of conflicts between Cartadania and Porlos in the 1930s, for which Cartadania was suzerain until late 1938. The war was primarily fought by the [[Cartadanian Army]] and stemmed from a rebel militia that had previously been present in the Porlosi capital city, Pacuí, storming the Ceylon-Porlosi border town of San Ysidro, where the toponymously named San Ysidro Army Base was located. Initially, the group of approximately 250 entered the town and began looting, assaulting, and causing civil unrest, and while the locality was quite small, with just over 8,000 inhabitants at the time, the community was largely military personnel, thus triggering a response from the Department of Defense.
During the Carto-Porlosi conflict, the Cartadanian Air Force played a crucial role in providing air support to the Army. As the conflict was largely concentrated in inland areas, the air force became the primary means of transportation for supplies and personnel. With the help of the air force, the army was able to move quickly and efficiently across the rugged terrain, launching surprise attacks on the rebel militia. The air force was also responsible for conducting reconnaissance missions over the conflict zone. These missions provided valuable information to the army, allowing them to adjust their strategy and tactics to gain an advantage over the rebels. The air force pilots were highly trained and experienced, allowing them to fly at low altitudes and navigate through challenging terrain with ease.


Initially, military police began the response effort to curtail the rebellion by a series of arrests, but when the militia stormed the base itself, the Army mobilized in an effort to quell the rebellion altogether. In the coming days and weeks, the rebel militia, at this point known as Internal Liberal Party for Action and Defense ({{lang-cd|Partido liberal interno para ação e defesa}}, ''PLIAD''), had grown to well over a thousand people in the area, accounting for 1/8th of the bodycount in San Ysidro. The basis for the conflict was assumed to be independence, but due to Alahuela's grasp on the region, it was reluctant to let go, and as similar sentiments continued to form across Porlos, the military had to mobilize its other forces.
Furthermore, the Cartadanian Air Force played a significant role in the siege of the rebel militia in San Ysidro. The air force launched a series of air-to-surface campaigns, bombing key rebel targets and supply lines. These attacks helped to weaken the rebels' position and pave the way for a ground assault by the army.


Because Porlos is largely inland, the Department of Defense relied mostly on army and air force support, and for the second time since its inception, the air force was mobilized to Crona. The conflict, more or less, went in favor of Alahuela, but due to the growing issues in Sarpedon around the [[First Great War]], it was forced to end the campaign, and on 8 August 1938, the National Congress authorized Porlosi Autonomy Act, granting the people of Porlos the right to govern themselves. While the relationship with Ceylonia has always been amicable, the drawback of Cartadania from Porlos was so aggressive and abrupt, that it devastated the local economy as Alahuela nullified all operations in the country. The Air Force continued to patrol the airspace of Ceylonia and reconnaissance near the border showed the disarray in Porlos, not caused by the combat in San Ysidro, but by optimistic independence. The air reconnaissance served such a great purpose that Alahuela saw fit to explore tactic in greater detail for future missions and aircraft development.
Despite the conflict ultimately going in favor of Alahuela, the Cartadanian Air Force's contribution was invaluable in securing victory. The lessons learned during the Carto-Porlosi conflict were taken into account by the Department of Defense and the Air Force continued to grow and develop its capabilities in air support and reconnaissance missions. In future conflicts, the Cartadanian Air Force would prove to be a formidable force, securing air superiority and aiding the army in achieving its objectives.
