Royal Isselmere-Nieland Air Force
The Royal Isselmere-Nieland Air Force (RINAF) was established in 1927 as the air component of the United Kingdom of Isselmere-Nieland's armed forces and until 1947 was administered by the Air Ministry, after which it became a department within the amalgamated Ministry of Defence. The RINAF arose from the Royal Isselmere-Nieland Flying Corps]], formed in 1916 from air units of the Observers Corps of the Royal Artillery.
In 2003, the Royal Air Force formally became the Royal Isselmere-Nieland Aerospace Force (RINASF), with the traditional functions of the Air Force devolving to an organisation known as Air Combat Command and the new space defence functions falling to a newly created Orbital Defence Command. In 2004, the Council of State elevated both commands to the status of Forces within the RINASF, giving rise to speculation that the Orbital Defence Force would become a fifth service within the UKINDF. As yet, there has been no active official support for such a separation of the RINASF.
