The key services the Air Force Office (AFO) offers to the community are as follows:

1. Manage UOAF servers for community use.
2. Promote and moderate flight simulation events.
3. Organize fight simulation participation.
4. Manage training material on the UO wiki.

The AFO accomplishes its objectives through two delegate groups:

1. The Event Fragging Team, who create, promote and coordinate events and pickup flights.
2. The Instructor Pilots, who develop and host training sessions to improve the quality of our members.

Oversight, direction, guidance, and responsibility falls on the AFO officers: Gusy, DarkFib3r. Responsibilities include ensuring continuity of weekly flight simulation events, assisting with mission fragging and training as required, and ensuring the wiki is maintained. AFO officers also ensure participant conduct is in compliance with the UO Charter and relevant Community SOPs.

 

The AFO has a governance group known as the Fellowship of the Wing, which provides guidance for the future of the UOAF. Furthermore, new roster members will be ultimately approved by this group. This group includes the AFO officers, Krause, and Force_Majeure.

 

The backbone of UOAF is its roster members. These players represent the core values of UOAF and act as role models for our guests. They are expected to be flight commander capable, possess a high degree of competence in flight simulation, and maintain a good reputation and behavior.
