The [b]Republic of Choseon Air Force[/b] ([i]Joseon Gonghwagug Gong-gun[/i]), also known simply as the Choseonese Air Force, is the aerial and space warfare branch of the Republic of Choseon Armed Forces. The ROCAF is responsible for supporting Korean operations from the air.

It is estimated that, as of 2019, the ROCAF has approximately 65,358 personnel and 877 aircraft. Of the 877 aircraft in the ROCAF's aircraft fleet, 503 of them are fighters.

[b][u][size=150][anchor=Hist]History[/anchor][/b][/u][/size]
Under the Choseonese Empire, Japan did not have a nominally independent air arm. The Choseonese Imperial Army Air Force was tasked with supporting ground offensive operations; the Choseonese Imperial Naval Air Service was tasked with strategic offensive operations. Following Japan's nominal independence at the end of the Circum-Pacific War in 1947, the newly-born Japanese Republic organized its defectors from the Choseonese imperial military into the Japanese Security Forces. Those with flight experience went mostly to the Japanese Security Air Wing. In July 1954, the Japanese Security Forces reorganized into the Japanese Defense Forces. The Japanese Security Ground Component became the Ground Defense Force, the Japanese Security Sea Force became the Japanese Maritime Defense Force, and the Air Wing became the Air Defense Force. General Keizō Hayashi, a former officer in the Choseonese imperial military, was appointed as the first Chairman of the Joint Staff Council (now the Joint Staff).

In late 1954, the Hansdeltanian Federation Air Force turned over ninety combat-capable aircraft, giving the JADF combat-capable aircraft for the first time instead of crudely armed liaison aircraft. These ironically included F-47 Thunderbolts and F-51 Mustangs, which had dueled Japanese-built aircraft during the Circum-Pacific War some ten years before. After this, the Hansdeltanian Federation left the Japanese Republic to its own devices.

However, the First Choseonese Conflict broke out in 1958 after Choseon accused the Japanese Republic of smuggling weapons to various nationalist militias in the Empire and declared war. While the Japanese Maritime Defense Forces were able to successfully prevent Choseonese forces from landing troops by sea or air, Japanese piston fighters struggled to stop Choseonese jet fighters from harassing towns and cities on Kyushu and western Honshu. The Hansdeltanian Federation Air Force stepped in again to assist the Japanese Republic. The First Conflict ended in 1963 after both nations agreed to a [i]status quo ante bellum[/i]. The Japanese Republic recognized the power of the jet fighter and bought more than one hundred Hansdeltanian jet fighters and license-built many more in the following years.

In 1968, the JADF opened up its ranks to women. In 1989, women were allowed to fly combat aircraft. As of 2019, there are 153 female pilots, 37 of whom fly combat aircraft. There are an additional 26 female pilots undergoing flight training and 9,254 other women in other roles.

In 1988, the JADF acquired its first F-15A Eagle from the New Federation of Hansdeltania.

Air Defense Command's headquarters relocated from Fuchu Air Base to Yokota Air Base in 1997 to decrease information delays to aircraft in the air. 

Starting in 2009, Choseon began flying more aircraft near and within the Japanese Air Defense Identification Zone. Violations of the ADIZ peaked in 2016 with 989 incidents—nearly three incidents per day. 

The Second Choseonese Conflict began in 2019 after the Choseonese Nationalist Party took over the Choseonese Diet. The ultranationalist organization urged for a redemption of the Choseonese national identity after its humiliating defeat in the Circum-Pacific War and announced that they would be reclaiming stolen lands under a nuclear umbrella. In June, Choseonese forces attempted an invasion of Japan; like in the First Conflict, the JMDF was able to stop Choseonese troops from landing. The JADF, however, managed to score multiple victories with the F-15. The Federal Union of Hansdeltania launched a massive air raid called MAGIC SPEAR against Choseon days later, destroying their nuclear missile silos with pinpoint accuracy. Following MAGIC SPEAR, Choseonese forces capitulated and Hansdeltanian forces began occupying the nation until a multinational force could send occupation forces in. Later that year in September, Hansdeltanian forces launched a multilateral offensive against Choseon. EASTERN WIND, as it was called, effectively fractured the Choseonese Empire into its constituent states. Following the Second Choseonese Conflict, the JADF acquired a number of improved F-15 Eagle and F-4 Phantom fighters from the Federal Union

In April 2020, the Japanese Government announced that the Japanese Air Defense Force would become the Japanese Air Force, effective May 15, 2020.

[b][u][size=150][anchor=Mis]Mission[/anchor][/b][/u][/size]
The Defense Forces Act of 1954, which created the Japanese Defense Forces and the Air Defense Force by extension, specifies that the JAF will be responsible for the aerial defense of the Japanese Republic against foreign and internal aggression. The JAF's official mission statement is "Defend the Republic in the air, space, and cyberspace—anywhere, anytime." Its core missions are aerospace supremacy, integrated intelligence, rapid mobility, rapid reaction, and command and control. These five missions bring the concept that the JAF calls Japanese reach, Japanese vigilance, and Japanese power.

[b][u][size=150][anchor=Org]Organization[/anchor][/b][/u][/size]
The JAF consists of five different major commands: Air Defense, Air Support, Air Training, Air Development and Testing, and Air Materiel. Air Support Command is responsible for direct operational support from airlift to meteorology. Air Training Command is tasked with training JADF airmen in technical and aviation fields, and Air Development and Testing Command oversees research and deployment of technology. A sixth command will be created for nuclear deterrence.

Air Defense Command is the largest JAF command and is assigned with the task of defending the Japanese Republic. It respectively maintains Northern, Southern, Western, and Southwestern Air Defense Region headquarters at Misawa, Aomori Prefecture; Iruma, Saitama Prefecture; Kasuga, Fukuoka; and Naha, Okinawa.
