 An expeditionary force will also be assigned an air combat element of an appropriate size, deployed by [[Aerospace Operations]], and usually comprised of a mobility unit commensurate to the size of the force, plus a fighter unit (usually from the Air Combat Branch). The element may be reduced in size once assault landings are completed, though a component is usually provided to allow sufficient planetary mobility and air coverage.
