8.1.2.1 Comm<strong>and</strong>er, Air Force Forces (COMAFFOR).<br />

A Comm<strong>and</strong>er, Air Force Forces (COMAFFOR) is designated for any operation conducted<br />

by deployed USAF forces. USAF elements deployed in an expeditionary role are<br />

designated as an Aerospace Expeditionary Task Force (ASETF). The ASETF is the<br />

designated USAF organization to fulfill the JTC's <strong>and</strong> JFACC's campaign objectives.<br />

(Usually, the COMAFFOR will also serve as the JFACC.) The comm<strong>and</strong> element includes<br />

the ASETF comm<strong>and</strong>er (the COMAFFOR), staff, <strong>and</strong> a comm<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> control function<br />

(the AOC). The NAF is the senior warfighting echelon of the USAF; when participating in<br />

a joint operation, the tasked NAF(s) will present USAF forces to the JFC within the<br />

framework of an ASETF.<br />
