The '''Royal Antoran Air Cavalry''' (Corric: ''Caballería Aérea de Antora Réal'', abbreviated CAAR,) is the air component of the [[Royal Corric Defense Forces|Royal Antoran Defense Forces]]. It was formed in 1938 after the [[Great War]] as the Antoran military modernized and the concept of combat aircraft became more widespread. Originally consisting of a few dozen lightly armed monoplanes, the Air Cavalry expanded significantly in subsequent decades to become a key part of Antoran defense policy. Efforts in the 1950s to design competitive attack craft paid off with the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_A-4_Skyhawk L-60 Mantarayya] and the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonnell_Douglas_F-4_Phantom_II L-65 Tiburón], which have variants still in service today. The focus of the Air Cavalry shifted in the mid-1970s to airlift and transport, and the success of the aircraft produced for this purpose saw them enter the civilian market after several years.
The '''Royal Antoran Air Cavalry''' (Corric: ''Caballería Aérea de Antora Réal'', abbreviated CAAR,) is the air component of the [[Royal Antoran Defense Forces]]. Until 2022, it was known as the Royal Corric Air Cavalry (''Caballería Aérea de Corrí Réal.'') It was formed in 1938 after the [[Great War]] as the Antoran military modernized and the concept of combat aircraft became more widespread. It consists of 298 aircraft and 42,067 personnel spread over six airbases.

The focus of the Air Cavalry shifted in the mid-1970s to airlift and transport, and the success of the aircraft produced for this purpose saw them enter the civilian market after several years.
The Air Cavalry saw two combat squadrons and one transport squadron go AWOL during the 1987 Corric Succession Crisis. These pilots took their aircraft, and were attempting to plan an attack on a major military target before they were arrested, tried, and imprisoned. The stolen aircraft where meanwhile scrapped due to the dishonor of being used by insurrectionists. In 2022, the Air Cavalry was renamed as part of a national adoption of the name Antora.


The Air Cavalry was reduced in size after the Corric Succession Crisis in 1987. Two squadrons of fighter craft and one of transport craft were removed from the official structure after their participation in the armed insurrection against the crown. In 2022, the Air Cavalry was renamed to the Royal Antoran Air Cavalry.
⚫
According to current doctrine, the Air Cavalry has four main goals: to defend the nation and its infrastructure and citizens from foreign aggression, to provide capacity to transport ground-based troops and equipment of the Royal Antoran Defense Forces, to operate ground-attack capability against surface targets, and to operate as a surveillance and control element during warfare. As of 2021, the Air Cavalry has 68,000 active members and 269 aircraft.

In 2020, the CACR possessed a strength of 68,219 active members and 10,188 reservists. The civilian personnel component made up approximately 60% of these numbers, most working in maintenance, logistics, and damage control. In 2021, the Royal Antoran Defense Forces began a significant downsizing and modernization effort to reduce bloated service numbers and replace old equipment from the mid-1900s. The General Staff have indicated they would like to reduce the Air Cavalry in size to 38,000 soldiers and 4,000 reservists by mid-2022.

The Air Cavalry operates 298 aircraft across its Brigades. The past use of a variety of foreign fighter craft has led to the creation of the "Antorize" policy. All foreign aircraft serving in the Air Cavalry undergo an extensive refit to replace their avionics, weapons, and engines with appropriate domestic models. This ensures that the Air Cavalry will not have a surplus of spare parts for certain planes and a deficit of others in wartime.
⚫
The Air Cavalry operates 391 aircraft across its various Brigades with some being phased out of service over the coming years. The General Staff upgraded the fighter inventory in late 2021 with the purchase of twenty-four GA-20M and thirty-six GA-36s from [[Volkia]] and twelve JAS-39E Gripens from [[Cryria]], replacing the 56 L-65 Tiburóns that had been in service since the 1970s and the 32 L-60 Mantarayyas from the 1950s. The Mantarayyas were sold as scrap and the Tiburóns sold to the [[The Company of the Quill|Company of the Quill]] as their new air wing. In 2022, the CAAR recieved delivery of twenty-four L-75 Gavilán light fighters from the joint Antoran-Cryrian Advanced Lightweight Adaptable Military Aircraft project, as well as four L/U -448 Gaviotas from the domestic Compact Sumbarine Destroyer Aircraft program. This enabled the air fleet to be reorganized further, with all 36 GA-36 interceptors and 12 GA-20M fighters being transferred to the Royal Antoran Guard. Six V/U-47 maritime patrol aircraft and five L/U-449 Martín anti-submarine aircraft were transferred to the [[Royal Antoran Armada]].

In 2022, the CAAR received delivery of twenty-four L-75 Gavilán light fighters from the joint Antoran-Cryrian Advanced Lightweight Adaptable Military Aircraft project, as well as ten L/U -448 Gaviotas from the domestic Compact Sumbarine Destroyer Aircraft program. This enabled the air fleet to be reorganized further, with all GA-36 interceptors and GA-20M fighters being transferred to the Royal Antoran Royal Guard. Six V/U-47 maritime patrol aircraft and five L/U-449 Martín anti-submarine aircraft were transferred to the [[Royal Antoran Armada]].

As part of the induction into the [[Inter-Novaran Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance]], the Air Cavalry recieved 10 L-100 Solaris strike aircraft from [[Volscina]], enabling Antora to deploy nuclear warhead-tipped cruise missiles and bombs as part of the INTRA deterrence triad.

The Royal Antoran Air Cavalry (Corric: Caballería Aérea de Antora Réal, abbreviated CAAR,) is the air component of the Royal Antoran Defense Forces. Until 2022, it was known as the Royal Corric Air Cavalry (Caballería Aérea de Corrí Réal.) It was formed in 1938 after the Great War as the Antoran military modernized and the concept of combat aircraft became more widespread. It consists of 298 aircraft and 42,067 personnel spread over six airbases.

Originally consisting of a few dozen light fighters, the Air Cavalry expanded significantly in subsequent decades to become a key part of Antoran defense policy. Efforts in the 1950s to design competitive attack craft paid off with the L-60 Mantarayya and the L-65 Tiburón, which have variants still in service today. The focus of the Air Cavalry shifted in the mid-1970s to airlift and transport, and the success of the aircraft produced for this purpose saw them enter the civilian market after several years.

The Air Cavalry was reduced in size after the Corric Succession Crisis in 1987. Two squadrons of fighter craft and one of transport craft were removed from the official structure after their participation in the armed insurrection against the crown. In 2022, the Air Cavalry was renamed to the Royal Antoran Air Cavalry.

According to current doctrine, the Air Cavalry has four main goals: to defend the nation and its infrastructure and citizens from foreign aggression, to provide capacity to transport ground-based troops and equipment of the Royal Antoran Defense Forces, to operate ground-attack capability against surface targets, and to operate as a surveillance and control element during warfare.

Organization

The Air Cavalry is made up of Brigades. There are four Air Brigades, which are made up of fighter craft, two Air Bombardment Brigades, which have the ground-attack and naval patrol craft, and two Transport Brigades, composed of heavy-lift planes, transport helicopters, and similar aircraft. Brigades are divided into Groups, which contain Squadrons as well as supply and support elements. Air Brigades have two Groups with two squadrons apiece. Air Bombardment Brigades have two Groups, each with three squadrons. Transport Brigades have three Groups with three Squadrons. Outside the Brigade structure are two specialized squadrons: the 33rd Refueling Squadron and the 34th Electronic Warfare Squadron. These special squadrons contain only two and four aircraft respectively.

Personnel

In 2022, the CACR possessed a strength of 58,007 active members and 8,211 reservists. The civilian personnel component made up approximately 60% of these numbers, most working in maintenance, logistics, and damage control. In 2021, the Royal Antoran Defense Forces began a significant downsizing and modernization effort to reduce bloated service numbers and replace old equipment from the mid-1900s. The General Staff have indicated they would like to reduce the Air Cavalry in size to 48,000 soldiers and 4,000 reservists by mid-2022.

Training

The Air Cavalry operates three primary training institutions. The Descarai Combat Academy, the largest military college in the nation, has basic and advanced courses detailing air warfare doctrine and practices. The two practical training programs, located at Fort Lluvieré Air Base and Fort Bugrí Air Reserve Base, cater to both military and civilian aviation, with the Stratosphere Program at Fort Lluvieré reserved for selected pilot cadets destined for elite service. Training starts with the basic T-12 Perro prop aircraft and then graduates to the L-72 Méro light combat trainer.

Aircraft

The Air Cavalry operates 298 aircraft across its Brigades. The past use of a variety of foreign fighter craft has led to the creation of the "Antorize" policy. All foreign aircraft serving in the Air Cavalry undergo an extensive refit to replace their avionics, weapons, and engines with appropriate domestic models. This ensures that the Air Cavalry will not have a surplus of spare parts for certain planes and a deficit of others in wartime.

The General Staff upgraded the fighter inventory in late 2020 with the purchase of twenty-four GA-20M and thirty-six GA-36s from Volkia and twelve JAS-39E Gripens from Cryria, replacing the 56 L-65 Tiburóns that had been in service since the 1990s and the 32 L-60 Mantarayyas from the 1970s. The Mantarayyas were sold as scrap and most Tiburóns sold to the Company of the Quill as their new air wing.

In 2022, the CAAR received delivery of twenty-four L-75 Gavilán light fighters from the joint Antoran-Cryrian Advanced Lightweight Adaptable Military Aircraft project, as well as ten L/U -448 Gaviotas from the domestic Compact Sumbarine Destroyer Aircraft program. This enabled the air fleet to be reorganized further, with all GA-36 interceptors and GA-20M fighters being transferred to the Royal Antoran Royal Guard. Six V/U-47 maritime patrol aircraft and five L/U-449 Martín anti-submarine aircraft were transferred to the Royal Antoran Armada.

As part of the induction into the Inter-Novaran Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance, the Air Cavalry recieved 10 L-100 Solaris strike aircraft from Volscina, enabling Antora to deploy nuclear warhead-tipped cruise missiles and bombs as part of the INTRA deterrence triad.
