This is a list of Major Commands (MAJCOM) of the United States Air Force

Historically, a MAJCOM is the highest level of command, only below HQ USAF, and directly above Numbered Air Forces (NAF). As with all things military, the role of MAJCOMs have changed: some were replaced with NAFs, and some NAFs were replaced with MAJCOMs.

During the half century that the U.S. Air Force has existed as a separate service, 27 organizations designated as major commands have existed. As of December 2000, only nine major commands (in bold) remain active,[1] with the Air Force Cyberspace Command expected to be added in late 2008.[2] The other MAJCOMs have either inactivated or lost their command status.
