The mission of the AirForce is to deliver sovereign options for the defense of the United States of America and its global interests—to fly and fight in Air, Space, and Cyberspace.
Complex and unpredictable global threats emerge every day and the AirForce is postured to provide options for the defense of the nation by sustaining an agile, adaptable, persistent, lethal, and surge-ready air, space, and cyberspace force.
The AirForce is at a critical juncture—a transition period that will shape the AirForce and our nation’s security for generations to come.
The U.S. AirForce is under the control of the United States Department of the AirForce, which is led by the secretary of the airforce, a civilian.
The AirForce is overseeing the development of a new airplane, the F-22, to replace the F-15 and F-16.
The airforce bases (AFB) under USAFE are Ramstein and Spangdahlem AFB in Germany; İncirlik AFB in Turkey; Royal AirForce (RAF) Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall, in England; and Aviano AFB in Italy.
