القوات الجوية الأمريكية
القوات الجوية الأمريكية (USAF) هي أحد فروع القوات المسلحة الأمريكية المسؤولة عن القتال الجوي، وهي واحدة من ثمان خدمات نظامية بالولايات المتحدة. وقد تشكلت كجزء من الجيش الأمريكي في 1 أغسطس 1907، ثم انفصلت في 18 سبتمبر 1947 كفرع مستقل ضمن القوات المسلحة الأمريكية، بتمرير قانون الأمن القومي لعام 1947. It is the second youngest branch of the U.S. Armed Forces[أ] and the fourth in order of precedence. The U.S. Air Force articulates its core missions as air superiority, global integrated intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, rapid global mobility, global strike, and command and control.
The U.S. Air Force is a military service branch organized within the Department of the Air Force, one of the three military departments of the Department of Defense. The Air Force through the Department of the Air Force is headed by the civilian Secretary of the Air Force, who reports to the Secretary of Defense and is appointed by the President with Senate confirmation. The highest-ranking military officer in the Air Force is the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, who exercises supervision over Air Force units and serves as one of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Certain Air Force components are assigned, as directed by the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of the Air Force, to unified combatant commands. Combatant commanders are delegated operational authority of the forces assigned to them, while the Secretary of the Air Force and the Chief of Staff of the Air Force retain administrative authority over their members.
Along with conducting independent air operations, the U.S. Air Force provides air support for land and naval forces and aids in the recovery of troops in the field. اعتبارا من 2017[تحديث], the service operates more than 5,369 military aircraft [12] and 406 ICBMs.[13] It has a $156.3 billion budget[14] and is the second largest service branch, with 320,812 active duty airmen,[15] 145,789 civilian personnel,[16] 69,200 reserve airmen,[17] and 105,700 Air National Guard airmen.[18]

المهام الأساسية
The five core missions of the Air Force have not changed dramatically since the Air Force became independent in 1947, but they have evolved and are now articulated as air superiority, global integrated intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, rapid global mobility, global strike, and command and control. The purpose of all of these core missions is to provide what the Air Force states as global vigilance, global reach, and global power.[20]
