Enrichment (EN)

Disambiguation: Air Materiel Command (AMC), also spelled 'Air Material Command,' is distinct from Air Mobility Command (also AMC), a separate modern USAF organization. AMC is also the parent organization of the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC), which directly managed UFO investigations.

Air Materiel Command (AMC) was a major command of the United States Air Force established on March 9, 1946, succeeding the Army Air Forces Technical Service Command. Headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, AMC consolidated logistics operations, depot-level aircraft maintenance, and research and development activities. Critically, AMC housed the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC), established May 21, 1951, which managed Project Sign (1947–1949) and Project Blue Book (1952–1969), the Air Force's systematic investigation of 12,618 unidentified flying object reports. In March 1952, ATIC established an Aerial Phenomena Group specifically to study UFO sightings. AMC was restructured in 1961, with logistics functions becoming the Air Force Logistics Command and R&D responsibilities transferred to the Air Force Systems Command.

O Air Materiel Command (AMC) foi um comando importante da Força Aérea dos Estados Unidos estabelecido em 9 de março de 1946, sucedendo o Comando de Serviços Técnicos das Forças Aéreas do Exército. Com sede na Base Aérea de Wright-Patterson em Dayton, Ohio, o AMC consolidava operações de logística, manutenção de aeronaves em nível de depósito e atividades de pesquisa e desenvolvimento. Criticamente, o AMC abrigava o Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC), estabelecido em 21 de maio de 1951, que gerenciava o Project Sign (1947–1949) e o Project Blue Book (1952–1969), a investigação sistemática da Força Aérea de 12.618 relatos de objetos voadores não identificados. Em março de 1952, o ATIC estabeleceu um Grupo de Fenômenos Aéreos especificamente para estudar avistamentos de OVNIs. O AMC foi reestruturado em 1961, com funções de logística tornando-se o Comando de Logística da Força Aérea e responsabilidades de P&D transferidas para o Comando de Sistemas da Força Aérea.
