The Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) is a Major Command (MAJCOM) of the United States Air Force, with its headquarters stationed at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia. It is a federally controlled reserve component of the USAF, consisting of duly appointed officers and enlisted personnel.

AFRC supports the Air Force mission to defend the United States through control and exploitation of air and space by supporting Global Engagement. The AFRC plays an integral role in the day-to-day Air Force mission and is not a force held in reserve for possible war or contingency operations.

If its units are mobilized, AFRC units and their support elements are gained by Air Combat Command, Air Mobility Command, and Air Force Special Operations Command. The mobilized components are immediately deployable without need for additional training.
