AIR FORCE Magazine / May 201036 ■ 2010 USAF Almanac The Air Force in Facts and Figures Structure of the Force How the Air Force Is Organized There is considerable variation in how the major commands and sub- ordinate units of the Air Force are organized. This overview describes both the typical organization chain and USAF’s Air and Space Expedi- tionary Force. The Department of Defense (DOD) is a Cabinet agency headed by the Secretary of Defense. It was created in 1947 to consolidate pre-existing military agencies—the War Department and the Navy Department. Subordinate to DOD are the three military depart- ments (Army, Navy, and Air Force), each headed by a civilian Secretary. The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) constitute the corporate military leader- ship of DOD. The Chairman and vice chairman of the JCS serve full-time in their positions. The service Chiefs are the military heads of their respective services, although JCS responsibilities take precedence. The Department of the Air Force is headed by the Secretary of the Air Force, who is supported by a staff called the Secretariat. The Chief of Staff, USAF, heads the Air Staff, and the military heads of the major commands report to the Chief of Staff. Most Air Force units fall under a major command, which has broad functional responsibilities. Major commands may be divided into numbered air forces. The fundamental unit of the working Air Force is the wing. An objective wing contains an operations group, which includes aircrews, intelligence units, and others; a maintenance group, which includes maintenance squadrons; a mission support group, which includes such functions as civil engineers, logistics readiness, and security forces; and a medical group. Most airmen are assigned to a squadron, which may comprise sev- eral flights. In addition to these units, there are others, including centers, field operating agencies, and direct reporting units. Air and Space Expeditionary Force To relieve chronic optempo problems stemming from back-to-back deploy- ments and operations, the Air Force developed an expeditionary concept initially called the Expeditionary Aero- space Force. The term EAF has since been supplanted by the term Air and Space Expeditionary Force (AEF). The term AEF also refers to a basic orga- nizational unit. USAF groups its power projection and support forces into 10 AEF “buckets of capability” operating in five pairs. Initially, combat air forces (CAF) deployed for a 90-day AEF rotation, with mobility air forces (MAF) and low-density, high-demand (LD/HD) forces operating on longer deployments as needed. In 2004, USAF went to a basic 120-day rotation, while LD/HD forces normally deployed for 180 days. (USAF’s LD/HD forces, including battle management, battlefield airmen, and reconnaissance assets, are in near constant use and rotate more frequently than most CAF and MAF elements.) In 2009, USAF began arraying its airmen in Tempo Bands with differ- ent deployment-to-dwell ratios. For instance, Tempo Band A, which serves as the baseline group predominantly for CAF forces, deploys for 120 days with a 1:4 ratio—four months deployed to 16 months dwell time. Tempo Bands B through E operate on 180-day rotations, each with its own deploy-to-dwell ratio: B at 1:4, C at 1:3, D at 1:2, and E at 1:1. Thus, an airman in Band C, for instance, would have a six-month deployment fol- lowed by 18 months dwell time. ■ Current Air Force Leaders Date in Position Secretary of the Air Force Michael B.

Roy June 30, 2009 AIR FORCE Magazine / May 2010 37 The title General of the Army for Henry H. Arnold was changed to General of the Air Force by an act of Congress May 7, 1949. The position of Chief of Staff was established by a DOD-approved Army-Air Force Transfer Order issued Sept. 28, 1947. aThe Army Air Corps became a subordinate element of the Army Air Forces June 20, 1941. Since the Army Air Corps had been established by statute in 1926, its disestablish ment required an act of Congress, which did not take place until 1947. Between March 9, 1942, and Sept. 18, 1947, the Army Air Corps continued to exist as a combatant arm, and personnel of the Army Air Forces were still assigned to the Army Air Corps.
