Civil Defense Flying Corps O.C.C.


     The Civil Defense Flying Corps (CDFC) is another paramilitary group that works closely with the ASC.  They use the same military etiquette, rules, rank and structure as the TAF.  Although very similar to the military forces they serve with, the CDFC is a civilian body and as such, falls outside of the jurisdiction of the ASC code of military justice.
  They are closely modeled after the Civil Air Patrol that operated in the United States throughout the Twentieth Century and have two main missions: emergency services and supporting the TAF.  Their role as an emergency services provider consists of search and rescue operations, humanitarian relief, transportation of officials and personnel, aerial imagery to aid emergency managers in assessing damage, and general assistance to the TAF.  In short they fly people, supplies, cargo and equipment, in and out of disaster areas.  The CDFC flies mainly civilian aircraft including helicopters and jet packs.  They also work closely with the TAF in a support role, and can be thought of as an air force reserve.
