The Ninth Air Force is a numbered air force of the United States Air Force's Air Combat Command (ACC). It has been headquartered at Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina, since activation on 5 August 2009. From 1990, units were deployed to the Middle East against Iraq, and from 2001 against threats emanating from Afghanistan. In this role, the organization was known as United States Air Forces Central (USAFCENT). Until August 2009, the Ninth Air Force shared its commander with USAFCENT.〔(New leaders take command of redesignated AFCENT, 9th Air Force ), 8/6/2009, Air Force News Service〕 In a complicated transfer of lineage, the Second World War-and after heritage of the Ninth Air Force was bestowed solely on United States Air Forces Central, and a new Ninth Air Force, which technically had no previous history, was activated on the U.S. East Coast. This article deals with the current organization, as the lineage of the previous organization currently belongs to USAFCENT. == Lineage == * Established as Ninth Air Force on 4 August 2009 : Activated on 5 August 2009〔Air Force Historical Research Agency, (Ninth Air Force (ACC) ), accessed August 2011〕 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「Ninth Air Force」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
