The Cartadanian Air Force (Cartadanian: Aeronáutica Cartadaniana; AC) is Cartadania's aerial warfare force. Formed at the beginning of the Galician War on 9 March 1913, it is the oldest independent air force in the world, but the youngest of the three main branches of the Cartadanian Armed Forces. Since its formation, the AC has taken a significant role in Cartadanian military history. In particular, it played a large part in Cartadania's fight during the Great War.
The Cartadanian Air Force is a military service branch organized within the Department of the Air Force, one of the three military departments of the Department of Defense. The Air Force through the Department of the Air Force is headed by the civilian Secretary of the Air Force, who reports to the Secretary of Defense and is appointed by the President. The highest-ranking military officer in the Air Force is the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, who exercises supervision over Air Force units and serves as one of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. As directed by the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of the Air Force, certain Air Force components are assigned to unified combatant commands. Combatant commanders are delegated operational authority of the forces assigned to them, while the Secretary of the Air Force and the Chief of Staff of the Air Force retain administrative authority over their members.
