}} Formed on 13 January 1916, the Republic of Bexar Air Force(RBAF), has taken a significant role in Bexaran military history ever since, playing a large part in the Karma War and in the TOP-C&G War. As a result of inter-service rivalry complicating operations, the operational command of RBAF units was taken over by the Joint General Staff providing the BMF with a single operational command structure.

The first military aircraft to be acquired by the Bexaran Army entered service in 1910 - forming the nucleus of what was to become the RBAF in October 1916. The duties of such aircraft were initially intended to be reconnaissance and artillery spotting in support of armies on the ground, just as balloons had been used during the 19th Century.

The RBAF operates 60 front line aircraft, plus transport aircraft, training aircraft, and ground based air defence. All are based in Bexar.

Mission
The RBAF's mission is to support the objectives of the Ministry of War, which are to "provide the capabilities needed: to ensure the security and defence of Bexar, including against terrorism; to support the Government’s foreign policy objectives particularly in promoting national interests."

The RBAF's own mission statement reads as thus: “ 	... to provide An agile, adaptable and capable Air Force that, person for person, is second to none, and that makes a decisive air power contribution in support of the Bexaran Defence Mission. ”

The above statement goes hand in hand with the General Staff's definition of air power, the concept that guides the RBAF's strategy. Air Power is defined as: "The ability to project military force in air by or from a platform operating above the surface of the earth. Air platforms are defined as any aircraft, helicopter or unmanned vehicle."

Structure
The professional head of the RBAF is the Air Marshal. The Air Marshal heads the Air Staff, which consists of the commanding officers of the various Groups.

Wings
Wings are the subdivisions of the RBAF; these are responsible for certain types of operation or for operations in limited geographical areas. A Wing controls 4 Groups of 2 or more Squadrons. Six Wings exist at this time:


 * 1st Wing: controls second line administrative and support facilities
 * School of Aerospace: controls all environmental training facilities
 * 3rd Fighter Wing: controls the Air Corps' combat aircraft and parent air stations.
 * 4th Wing: controls all ground based missile defence systems.
 * 5th Wing: reserve unit that controls the transport aircraft.
 * 6th Missile Wing: controls and operates Bexar's strategic nuclear missile force.
