  Aviation
  Aviation operations are an integral part of all OPFOR operations. Most
  fixed-wing assets belong to the Air Force, while most of the rotary-wing
  aircraft belong to the Army. The Air Force is the largest, best equipped,
  and best trained in the geographic region. The capabilities of the
  OPFOR’s fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft far exceed those of its neighbors,
  allowing for regional air superiority. However, the Air Force is not strong
  enough to defeat the air force of a modern power from outside this region.
  Realizing this limitation, the OPFOR will modify its use of aviation assets
  to ensure effective use against high-payoff targets. The air doctrine of the
  OPFOR represents a blend of principles growing out of past experience
  and doctrine adapted from foreign advisors.
  ORGANIZATION
  8-1. The State’s aviation organizations are structured similar to the ground
  components. As with the ground forces, the administrative force structure is
  a system in peacetime that mans, trains, and equips units to deploy for war.
  In wartime, the Air Force’s peacetime air armies may be utilized in whole or
  may be parceled to provide units to a theater- or operational-level command.
  The Army’s aviation units are structured similarly to other Army units, with
  brigades and battalions being the primary size of deployable units. This
  structure provides timely and effective use of assets at all levels of combat
  from the strategic campaign to the tactical ground maneuver plan.
  AIR FORCE
  8-2. The OPFOR has a variety of Air Force assets at national and theater
  levels in the administrative force structure. It has organized these assets so
  that each of these levels of command can have its own aviation forces to fulfill
  mission requirements. The subordinate Air Force organizations are grouped
  on a functional, mission-related basis, into divisions, regiments, and
  squadrons. For example, a bomber division is composed primarily of bomber
  regiments, and a fighter regiment is composed mainly of fighter squadrons.
  Rotary-wing assets of the Air Force are organized along the same lines as
  those of army aviation, with brigades and battalions. The Air Force also has
  some mixed aviation units with a combination of fixed- and rotary-wing
  assets; these follow the normal Air Force organization pattern, with mixed
  aviation regiments and squadrons, although rotary-wing subordinates would
  be battalions and companies. Various fixed- and/or rotary-wing assets of the
  Air Force may be task organized as part of an operational-level command in
  wartime.
