Eleventh Air Force - Overview

Overview

The commander of the Eleventh Air Force also serves as the commander of United States Pacific Command's sub-unified Alaskan Command, United States Northern Command's Joint Task Force-Alaska and commander of the Alaskan North American Aerospace Defense Command Region. This mission is accomplished largely through the 611th Air and Space Operations Center, the 611th Air Support Group, and units of the Alaska Air National Guard. Together, they provide a network of critical air surveillance and command, control and communications functions necessary to perform tactical warning and attack assessment in defense of Alaska.
