Officers within the People's Air Force act as managers and commanders. Junior officer ranks are split into flug (pilots) and luft (engineers and support). Though each branch is provided with command and control training. As of 1st June 2020, all content taught to all officers is in line with the directives of the Urthian Worker's Internationale. In addition, officers serving on and after this date are said to be receiving retrospective training.

Warrant Officers

Warrant Officers, while not directly officers, receive a warrant from the Department for Defence. Becoming a Warrant Officer is based on a selection of outstanding non-commissioned officers to undergo additional command and control training. Warrant Officers often provide a critical practical advisor role to officers.

Non-Commissioned Officers & Enlisted

Non-commissioned officers (NCOs) provide the ground-level command of their subordinates. This often includes the regimenting of a day, the reinforcement of training and discipline, but also includes combat and support operations. Enlisted-ranked People's Air Force personnel form a majority of the numbers of the military branch and generally speaking have no specific command responsibilities.
