The Air Force Medical Command is a Direct Reporting Unit of the United States Air Force, colocated at Falls Church, Virginia with the Defense Health Agency. It is commanded by the Surgeon General of the United States Air Force and provides command and direction for Air Force medical units.
The organization was first organized as the Air Force Medical Operations Agency in July 1992, as a companion to the Air Force Medical Support Agency. This dual management continued until June 2019, when the two agencies were combined as the Air Force Medical Readiness Agency. Starting in 2023, the Air Force began combining elements of its Surgeon General's staff with the agency with this agency to take full control of Air Force medical units, achieving initial operational capability in March 2025.
