Air Expeditionary Force

The Air Expeditionary Force (AEF) is a model used by the U.S. Air Force to organize, prepare, and deploy units quickly for military operations. It involves flexible, modular teams of aircraft and personnel that can be rotated and assigned to different missions around the world. The AEF allows the Air Force to respond rapidly to international crises, ensuring readiness and sustained operational support. It emphasizes pre-planned schedules and coordination, enabling efficient deployment without disrupting ongoing operations or overburdening personnel.
