Air Staff (United States)

For brief reference, the organization of the Joint Staff follows. See the full article for more details, and the Continental Staff System for discussion. The Joint Chiefs of Staff organization includes the following departments where all the Joint Staff's planning, policies, intelligence, manpower, communications and logistics functions are translated into action. National Level Command Structure • DOM – Directorate of Management • J1 – Manpower and Personnel • J2 – Joint Staff Intelligence • J3 – Operations • J4 – Logistics • J5 – Strategic Plans and Policy • J6 – Command, Control, Communications and Computer Systems (C4) • J7 – Joint Force Development • J8 – Force Structure, Resources, and Assessment Air Staff • A1 – Manpower, Personnel, and Services • A2 – Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance • A3 – Operations • A4 – Logistics • A5 – Plans and Requirements • A6 – Warfighter Communications and Cyber Systems • A7 – Installations and Mission Support • A8 – Strategic Plans and Programs • A9 – Studies, Analyses, and Assessments • A10 – Strategic Deterrence and Nuclear Integration Office Multiple Air Force military commands follow this structure, but for the HQ Air Force at the Pentagon, they combine several into one office (A5/8 and A4/7). In addition, unlike the other branches of the U.S. armed forces that place "force development and training" in J7 like elements (i.e., G7, N7, etc.), the Air Force has no A7 "training" organization at the HAF level, retaining that function within its A3 organization. ==Members of the Air Staff==
