The United States Air Force (USAF) is a branch of the United States armed forces. It was formed in 1947 as a part of the National Security Act, replacing the Army Air Forces (AAF) which itself had replaced the Army Air Corps (AAC) in 1941.

The USAF is charged primarily with establishing and maintaining aerial superiority over enemies of the U.S., as well as providing support for ground and naval forces in their operations; this includes moving supplies, providing intel, and providing close air support.

The branch makes many unnamed appearances in the Battlefield Series, different factions are depicted operating USAF Aircraft in Multiplayer for gameplay purposes. AI controlled aircraft are flown by the branch, however.

Battlefield Hardline[]

While the USAF does not formally appear in Battlefield Hardline, a damaged AC-130 Gunship is featured in the Episode Sovereign Land. Somehow obtained by Tony Alpert, its main gun is still operational allowing Nick Mendoza to quickly eliminate Alpert's forces before heading toward the nearby Brute. The words "United States Air Force" are also erroneously featured on the aircraft, being written in Spanish.
