I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

FB, oh dear.

Well we have LAND Command often referred to as LAND so AIR Command sits well with that modern PC like name.

Air Ministry was quite good but nowhere near as punchy as WAR Office. No doubt what they did and it wasn't peace keeping. Bomber changing to STRIKE was punchy too but didn't really fit with humanitarian missions.

Hard to convince an NGO that your STRIKE aircraft was delivering manna from heaven.

Now what about SEA Command or NAVY Command or whatever?

Who is going to suggest the Navy comes in to line?

Admiralty Board: The Admiralty Board is responsible for policy and decision making and the Service Executive Committee of the Admiralty Board, known as the Navy Board. With a First Sea Lord.

Now there is PC for you
