        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.
