Garuda Team

Garuda Team (ガルーダ隊  Garūda-tai ), officially the 28th Fighter Squadron, is a squadron in the Republic of Emmeria Air Force's Eastern Air Region Air Defense. It serves in the REAF's 8th Air Division, and is stationed at Gracemeria Air Force Base.

During the Emmeria-Estovakia War, Garuda Team became invaluable to the Emmerian war effort as it helped decide the outcome of many crucial battles during the war, forcingEstovakia's armed forces to dedicate entire operations to the destruction of the squadron. Garuda's renown resulted in its members becoming national heroes for the Emmerian people and helping Emmeria emerge victorious in the war.

Garuda Team is the player's squadron throughout Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, they were bravely fought against many Estovakian squadrons in the USRAC War since the Second Emmerian-Estovakian War happened, but their most notable operation is Operation Red Carpet (a secret mission to perform reconnaissance over the How I Can Help Make the World Great ceremony) since they refused to perform a ceremonial fly-by. Later, they would go on to carry many UN-tasked missions towards the end of the USRAC War.
