[edit] Organization[]
The Franco-German Air Force is mostly concentrated in its mainland territory. Different air defense zones are assigned to different air bases and squadrons. In addition to FGC administrated territory, the FGAF keeps forces ready in excess at certain overseas bases These are usually in Franco-German Overseas Territories, allthough the FGC does lease land from other countries in regions where it doesn't have territory.
In Europe, there are 8 zones of coverage for FGAF forces. The Mediterranean east of Sardinia, the Mediterranean west of Sardinia, Iberia, France, Germany, the Insular nations of Europe, Scandanavia,and East Europe.
North America, due to a high concentration of powerful states, is sparcely filled with FGAF forces. Accordingly, there are only three zones: the Caribbean, Anglo-America, Central America plus South America north of Brazil and Peru, and then the rest of South America.
In Africa, there are 5 zones: Southern Africa, East of DR Congo, DR Congo and those west, Western Sahel, Western Sahara, and Eastern Sahara up to the eastern side of the Suez Canal.
The Middle East, due to its highly militarized and defended state, is divided into only two zones: Levant and Arabian Peninnsula.
Central Asia is split into Iran, North India, Pakistan, South India, Afghanistan, Taijikistan, Kyrgistan, and Uzbekistan. The FGAF put a large force in charge of this region due to the strategic importance.
Southeast Asia is divided into Burma and Bengladesh, and the rest is counted as "no-man's land" due to the PRC/Yarphese presence.
Oceania is divided into two regions excluding the heavy FGAF presence in FGC territories, Australia and New Zealand.
