Formed in 2004, and placed under the command of former San Salvacion Air Force officers, the 178th Fighter Squadron “Swordsmen” was an integral part of the Independent States Allied Force’s ground support infrastructure when taking back the Usean continent from Erusean control.
Flying donated A-4E Skyhawks, the Swordsmen would focus almost exclusively on Close-air-support of ISAF Ground units during the push through the northern lands of Usea, starting at St Ark and moving westward until reaching San Salvacion. The unit would not participate in further incursions into Erusea, and would be disbanded in 2006 following the dissolution of ISAF.
Today the Aircraft flown by the 178th still exist within Museums dedicated to the conflict, or have been relocated to boneyards in Usea.
