The Arcer Air Force is subdivided further by two separate components, those being the Active or Regular Air Force, and the Reserve and Territorial units. Regular units are full-time flight crew or support staff in uniformed service, and it is their primary means of employment and served a variety of fixed-year contracts while in service. These are augmented by a variety of reserve formations, which are usually in the supporting functions such as procurement, research and development, staff and headquarters, or training. Much of the reserve force in the Arcer Air Force is made up of pilots and aircrew who have gone on to similar careers in civilian industries such as aerospace and civilian airliners. | The Arcer Air Force is subdivided further by two separate components, those being the Active or Regular Air Force, and the Reserve and Territorial units.
