Disambiguation: Air Defense Command (ADC) is distinct from NORAD's Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD), which was established separately in 1954 and later integrated with ADC operations. ADC was redesignated Aerospace Defense Command (ADCOM) in 1968 to reflect expanded mission including missile detection and space surveillance.

Air Defense Command (ADC) was a major command of the United States Air Force, established on March 21, 1946, with headquarters at Mitchel Field, New York. Originally created as part of General Carl Spaatz's post-war reorganization alongside Strategic Air Command and Tactical Air Command, ADC was tasked with providing comprehensive air defense of the Continental United States through management of interceptor squadrons, radar networks, and air warning systems. The command grew to oversee 93 active Air Force and 76 Air National Guard fighter-interceptor squadrons. In 1968, it was redesignated Aerospace Defense Command (ADCOM) to reflect its expanded mission into missile warning and space surveillance. The command was inactivated on March 31, 1980, with its atmospheric defense resources transferred to Tactical Air Command and missile warning assets transferred to Strategic Air Command.
