Organization of the aerospace forces - Organization - Brief Article

Airman, Jan, 2002

Knowing what lies ahead is a sure way to negate the fear of uncertainty. And though no one can predict the future, the Air Force has a clear vision of what it must do tomorrow.

Basically, it's the same mission it has had for more than 50 years -- gain and maintain air superiority. A simple premise now routine for the world's greatest-ever aerospace force.

But today's foes are unpredictable. Willing to take desperate measures to impose their will. For the Air Force to maintain the edge against such adversaries is a demanding duty. A task no one man or woman can do alone.

It takes a total force to keep the Air force flying -- and fighting. This group of professionals serves in all Air Force major commands and organizations. They ensure the nation has the world's most modern Air Force -- with the best people, aircraft and spacecraft, equipment and weapons. A team that works with the latest information and cuttingedge technologies. A force that can, at a moment's notice, do the job it trains to do each day.

An Air Force that guards the nation and can take the fight to any adversary, anywhere. Americans won't have it any other way.
