===Instant Intercept Force===
The Instant Intercept Force is a program ran by the Demitorian Air Force and the Air Defense Service since 1972. The goal of the program is to have half of all Air Defense Interceptors active and ready to be taking off within a minute and a half, while also having a goal of having all mainline and reserve fighter aircraft in the program be ready to be airborne within four minutes. Generally, the Force is combined with the Air Defense Service Coloik Line of early warning and intercept radars positioned along the Demitorian Coast. All aircraft in this program reside in hardened shelters with the pilot's accommodation nearby. As part of this program, an in-air refueling tanker is also present with the same time requirements as the normal fighters, to ensure that sorties can last as long as the pilots can handle. The force is generally stood up in all EMERGCON levels, though the travel of pilots and access to the bases where they are is generally more restrictive with each increase in threat level.
