It managed fighter squadrons, strategic planning, and defense efforts against enemy aircraft threats. The command ensured air superiority by directing combat missions, training pilots, and maintaining readiness. Essentially, it was the central command hub that organized and led the fighter aircraft across regions to defend the UK and support military objectives.
