=== Staff and Command ===
The Arcer Air Force is split into five distinct branches, each with their own respective doctrine, facilities, and requirements for personnel. The Air Forces (Land), deal with direct support to the Army as well as providing the main bulk of Fighter and Interceptor roles to the maneuver brigades of the Arcerion Army. Air Forces (Land) priority is aerospace defense, bomber interdiction, and close air support or support to ground operations. This also includes rotor lift and fixed-wing tactical airlift, and some limited strategic airlift. The Air Forces (Maritime) takes on the bulk of ASW, Maritime Patrol, and Naval Reconnaissance. It has seen multiple deployments to Joint Naval Stations around the Polynesian Seas and Odoneru, and assists with projecting Arcer views such as freedom-of-navigation and Maritime Naval Sovereignty across the globe. The Air Forces (Training) is the second-smallest branch, just behind the Staff and Training branch. It is responsible for new pilot and aircrew training, as well as the logistical and long-term maintenance of Arcer air frames and bases. Interestingly, the Staff portion also includes air defense systems and personnel, such as the maintenance of Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) sites as well as large aerial radar systems. The Special Air-Ground Operations branch is dedicated to providing supporting air support, usually in the form of airlift and close air support to members of Arcerion Special Operations Command (ASOC).
