The Republic of China Air Force (ROC Air Force, or simply ROCAF) is the aviation branch of the military of the Republic of China (Taiwan), and is often viewed as one of the most professional and capable branches of the Republic of China's armed forces. The ROCAF's primary mission is the defense of the airspace over and around Taiwan against an attack by the People's Republic of China. Current priorities of the ROCAF include the development of long range reconnaissance and surveillance networks, integrating C4ISTAR systems to increase battle effectiveness, procuring counterstrike weapons, next generation fighters, and hardening airfields and other facilities to survive a surprise attack.

In May 2005, the Ministry of National Defense indicated its intention to transfer command of all national defensive missile systems to the ROCAF, while future offensive missiles would be placed under a newly-formed missile command.
