Air Combat Command (ACC) is one of ten major Major Commands (MAJCOMs) in the United States Air Force, reporting to Headquarters, United States Air Force (HAF) at the Pentagon.〔(Air Combat Command Website )〕 ACC is headquartered at Langley Field, Joint Base Langley–Eustis (formerly Langley AFB), Virginia. Its commander is General Herbert "Hawk" Carlisle, with (Major General Jerry D. Harris Jr. ) as Vice Commander, and (Chief Master Sergeant Steve K. McDonald ) as the Command Chief Master Sergeant. ==Mission== The mission of Air Combat Command is to be the primary force provider of non-nuclear combat airpower to America's warfighting commands. To support global implementation of national security strategy, ACC operates fighter, bomber, reconnaissance, battle-management and electronic-combat aircraft. Air Combat Command also provides command, control, computing, communications and intelligence (C4I) systems, and conducts global information operations. As a force provider, ACC 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. ACC numbered air forces provide the air components to United States Central Command, United States Southern Command, United States Northern Command and United States Strategic Command. In addition, ACC augments forces to United States European Command and United States Pacific Command. Air Combat Command consists of more than 109,000 active duty members and civilians (approximately 98,000 active duty members and more than 11,000 civilians). When mobilized, more than 63,000 members of the Air National Guard and the Air Force Reserve, along with over 600 additional aircraft, are assigned to ACC. In total, ACC and ACC-gained units consist of more than 1,750 aircraft.〔 In 2009, responsibility for nuclear-capable bomber aircraft assets, specifically the B-2 Spirit, the B-52 Stratofortress, and their associated units, bases and personnel, were transferred from ACC to the newly established Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Air Combat Command」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
