The UNSC Air Force is a part of the UNSC Defense Force along with the UNSC Army. It serves as an aerial defense and support force.[1]
Background
Like the Army, extremely little is known about the Air Force. Initially, author Eric Nylund expressed the opinion that its' role and function would have been absorbed into the UNSC Navy, though denied that this was canon[2]. Later, in an interview, Frank O'Conner confirmed the existence of an Air Force branch of the UNSCDF[3]. It's likely that it's tasked with organizing aerial operations, conducting tactical strikes and bombing runs, providing close-air-support for infantry forces, and transportation of UNSCDF personnel.
Operations
The Air Force's operations are currently unknown. It was presumably present during the Battle of Earth along with the UNSC Army. Although its specific functions and battlefield role in battle are unclear, the Air Force was most likely assigned to support UNSC Army and Marine ground forces. It is also plausible that they made use of bombers, such as the Shortsword, and fighters such as the SkyHawk.
