2008/08 - Air Combat Command

Year

2008

The RSAF formed Air Combat Command to integrate fighter, transport, and sensor capabilities for comprehensive air combat operations.

Air Combat Command (ACC) integrates the RSAF's various fighter and transport aircraft, Command and Control, and sensor capabilities to carry out the full range of air combat operations required by the SAF. Despite being a new operational Command, ACC’s fighter and transport squadrons date back to the beginnings of the Air Force. ACC manages the RSAF’s daily flying activities, training standards, doctrine development, and the designing of system-level exercises and training. It also ensures that the RSAF’s fighter and transport aircraft are operationally ready.

“Air Combat Command will be responsible for the planning, control, and execution of the air battle in operations. It brings together all the fighter and transport squadrons that will carry out these tasks under a single Command, which will be responsible for training the pilots and aircrew to think and operate in a fully integrated way.”
