Californian Federation Air Force

Following the independence of the State of California from the United States of America in November of 1999, the then Californian Republic passed the National Security Act of 2001. The Act created the Department of Defense, which was composed of six branches, the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, Navy, and a newly created Space Defense Force. Prior to California's independence in 1999, all of the states military functions were that of State Militias and State Defense Forces which were controlled by at the national level by the Federal Government.

Since its formation the Californian Federation Air Force has began replacing all of the old fighters and bombers in its military that were leftovers from the United States Military. Entering service to replace the A-10 Thunderbolt II, F/A-18 Hornet, and the F-16 Fighting Falcon the F-35 has become the mainstay of the Californian Federation Air Force.

Also entering service with the Californian Federation Air Force is the F-22 Raptor and the F-23 Black Widow II to replace the aging F-15 fighters left over from the United States Air Force.
