Affective Lesson Objective: • Respond to the importance of ACC, AMC, AFSPC, AETC, AFMC, AFSOC, AFRC, PACAF, USAFE, and AFGSC to achieving US national objectives. Affective Sample of Behavior: • Willingly read the assigned text. USAF Major Commands 227 USAF MAJOR COMMANDS ur National military policy is based primarily on deterrence. In the event deterrence fails, we must execute the war swiftly and decisively. The United States must be Oprepared to fight conflicts across all spectrums and in all arenas. The Air Force, through Air Combat Command (ACC), is prepared to provide combat aircraft for these conflicts. ACC doesn’t act alone. Throughout the post-Cold War era, airlift has been at the center of military operations ranging from the massive airlift during DESERT SHIELD to airlift support for OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM and IRAQI FREEDOM. Air Mobility Command (AMC) lies at the heart of the Air Force’s airlift capability and is critical to our national security. Both ACC and AMC rely heavily on another command, Air Force Space Command (AFSPC), to accomplish their mission.
