Royal Air Force Although the concept of a command dates back to the foundation of the Royal Air Force, the term command (as the name of a formation) was first used in purely RAF-context in 1936 when Bomber Command, Fighter Command, Coastal Command and Training Command were formed. Since that time the RAF has made considerable use of the term. Currently, the RAF has two commands, Strike Command and Personnel and Training Command, which are co-located at RAF High Wycombe. It has been announced that on April 1st 2007, these commands will merge to form a single Air Command. The Royal Air Force (RAF) is the air force branch of the British Armed Forces. ...

Joint Operations Whilst it is possible that a deployment could be entirely single-service and run by one of the "fighting" commands, in reality all operations are now run jointly by two or more of the services. To facilitate this, the Permanent Joint Headquarters (PJHQ) has been established. This seperate command is staffed by personnel from all three services and has operational command of most overseas operations, including in Iraq and Afganistan. The Permanent Joint Headquarters is the British Tri Service Base in Northwood from where all overseas military operations are planned and controlled. ...
