Does the air force have special forces?

Yes the USAF has AFSC's pr "Job" that fall under SOCOM or Special Operations Command. Some of our Special Forces include the Pararescue men, the Combat Air Traffic Controller, the Sere Specialist, and the Tactical Air Control Party, as well as other AFSC's that partake in SOCOm missions such as Explosive Ordinance Disposal and Combat Weather. this list is not all inclusive and a USAF Recruiter should be contacted for further information. There is no such thing as special forces in the airforce. many people get confused with spec ops and spec forces. the special forces are green berets ONLY. But the answer is yes if you mean pec ops. they are pararescue.


What makes up the US armed forces?

In general military forces are made up of the citizens of a nation who either volunteer to serve in their forces or are conscripted to serve in the forces. In the US the forces are made up of the enlisted and the commissioned officers and the Secretary of the Armed Forces and the Chief (the President of the US). In the United Kingdom the Royal Forces belong to the Queen of the kingdom and are responsible to her or the King when there is one. The forces consist of enlisted people and the officers and the Admiralty. In Israel the forces are conscripted and there are those who enlist. They too have enlisted, conscripted and commissioned officers. During World War 2 there were also drafted/conscripted men in the forces because they needed millions of men for all the forces. After the Viet Nam War the US chose to have only enlisted personnel and commissioned officers but they reserved the right to enact the draft again if it was necessary. The men have to register for the draft even though they may not ever be drafted. Military forces consist of Naval forces, Aviation forces such as the US Air Force or the Royal Air Force, Army forces, Marine forces, recon forces (special forces), Coast Guard forces, and some countries have special intelligence forces. All these military type forces have their own structures and units. Some countries only have one military because they are too small a country or too poor.


What was the blits in World War 2?

The "Blitz" or Blitzkreig was a type of attack warfare that Germany had developed in order to invade foreign countries and capitulate them rather quickly. It means "lightning war" and comprised of coordinating air and land forces to strick quickly and effeciently to overwhelm the opposing forces. It involved armored vehicles, mobile infantry, and the Luftwaffe (German Air force) coordinating their attacks in a fast moving manner. It is where the blitz comes from in football. Modern US forces utilize the same type of coordinated attacks when confronting enemy forces.

Top 10 air forces?

The world has a lot of very impressive air forces. The list compiled below is merely an opinion. It my not be accepted internationally and indeed, there may be some countries that belong on the list that I may have missed. There is no list that has been published that states the world's top 20 air forces. Furthermore the world's top air forces can turn out to be different depending what factors you take into consideration (size, experience, technology, etc.). In addition, the order may also change due to this. I have chosen the following air forces based on the following four factors: experience, self-sufficiency, technology and nuclear deterrence (all nuclear powers with decent air forces are in the top 10 (excluding Iran [believed to be nuclear capable] & North Korea due to sanctions and lack of spare parts, however if they had access to spares and were not under sanctions they too would be formidable). Quality and quantity are both taken into account equally.1). United States Air Force2). Russian Air Force3). Israeli Air Force4). Royal Air Force (UK)5) People's Liberation Army Air Force (Chinese Air Force)6). French Air Force7). Indian Air Force8). Pakistan Air Force9). Saudi Air Force10). Turkish Air Force11).
