Operations. The Air Force Reserve was created as a separate operating agency (SOA) and replaced a major command — Continental Air Command — which inactivated in Aug 1968. Because of the large number of organizations under its control, Air Force Reserve became the largest of the separate operating agencies and was the largest of the direct reporting units before returning to SOA status. In 1991, its status changed to a field operating agency and in 1997 it was elevated to major command status. AFRC’s mission included all aspects of Air Force operations — fighter, bomber, airlift, aerial refueling, special operations, aeromedical evacuation, space operations, flying training, and aerial firefighting. The command provided support and disaster relief in the U.S., supported national counterdrug operations, and administered the USAF’s individual mobilization augmentee program. As an integral part of the Air Force’s Total Force, provided units to participate in all conflicts and contingency operations, which included Vietnam, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
