A modern force
The Royal Norwegian Air Force offers modern capacities and has a strong focus on international operations.
Over the last ten years the Royal Norwegian Air Force has participated with helicopters, F-16 fighters, C-130 cargo planes in theatres such as Bosnia- and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Lithuania and Afghanistan. P3 Orion Surveillance planes have also been operating out of Italy in order to patrol the Mediterranean (Operation Active Endeavour).
Peace force: Approximately 1430 employees (officers, enlisted staff, civilians). 600 personnel are also serving their one-year initial service.
Mobilization force: Approximately 5500 personnel.
The Air Force counts 7 air stations, 2 CRC's (Control and Reporting Centres), 2 educational centres, 10 squadrons with aircrafts and helicopters and 2 surface-to-air missile battalions.
The Air Force has 57 F-16 fighters, 6 NASAMS (Norwegian Advanced Surface to Air Missile System) batteries, 12 Sea King search and rescue choppers, 6 P-3 Orion maritime patrol planes, 6 Hercules C-130 transport planes, 6 Lynx coastguard helicopters, 18 Bell 412 helicopters and 3 DA-20 Jet falcon electronic warfare planes.
Each air station has an air wing and a logistics organization. The air wing runs the operational activity - the heart of the Air Force. The stations and the logistics organizations offer infrastructure and support to the air wings so they can perform their operational tasks.
The Control and Reporting Centres monitor the Norwegian air space, and are part of NATO's air monitoring service. The education centres contribute to enhance the educational and experience level in the Norwegian Defence and the RNoAF.
