Matters
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department of the Air Force is responsible for defending the United
States through control and exploitation of air and space.
The Department of the Air Force (USAF) was established as part of the
National Military Establishment by the National Security Act of 1947 (61
Stat. 502) and came into being on September 18, 1947. The National
Security Act Amendments of 1949 redesignated the National Military
Establishment as the Department of Defense, established it as an
executive department, and made the Department of the Air Force a
military department within the Department of Defense (63 Stat. 578). The
Department of the Air Force is separately organized under the Secretary
of the Air Force. It operates under the authority, direction, and
control of the Secretary of Defense (10 U.S.C. 8010). The Department
consists of the Office of the Secretary of the Air Force, the Air Staff,
and field organizations.
Secretary The Secretary is responsible for matters pertaining to
organization, training, logistical support, maintenance, welfare of
personnel, administrative, recruiting, research and development, and
other activities prescribed by the President or the Secretary of
Defense.
Air Staff The mission of the Air Staff is to furnish professional
assistance to the Secretary, the Under Secretary, the Assistant
Secretaries, and the Chief of Staff in executing their responsibilities.
Field Organizations The major commands, field operating agencies, and
direct reporting units together represent the field organizations of the
Air Force. These are organized primarily on a functional basis in the
United States and on an area basis overseas. These commands are
responsible for accomplishing certain phases of the worldwide activities
of the Air Force. They also are responsible for organizing,
administering, equipping, and training their subordinate elements for
the accomplishment of assigned missions.
Major Commands
The Continental U.S. Commands
Air Combat Command This Command operates Air Force bombers and CONUS-
based, combat-coded fighter and attack aircraft. It organizes, trains,
equips, and maintains combat-ready forces for rapid deployment and
employment while ensuring strategic air defense forces are ready to meet
the challenges of peacetime air sovereignty and wartime air defense.
Air Force Materiel Command This Command advances, integrates, and uses
technology to develop, test, acquire, and sustain weapons systems. It
also performs single-manager continuous product and process improvement
throughout a product's life cycle.
Air Mobility Command This Command provides airlift, air refueling,
special air mission, and aeromedical evacuation for U.S. forces. It also
supplies forces to theater commands to support wartime tasking.
Air Force Reserve Command This Command supports the Air Force mission
of defending the Nation through control and exploitation of air and
space. It plays an integral role in the day-to-day Air Force mission and
is not a force held in reserve for possible war or contingency
operations.
Air Force Space Command This Command operates space and ballistic
missile systems, including ballistic missile warning, space control,
spacelift, and satellite operations.
