Disambiguation: Major command of the US Air Force (1946–1961), NOT to be confused with modern Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC, established 1992). The historical AMC was headquartered at Wright-Patterson AFB and overseen the first formal UFO/UAP investigations (Projects SIGN, Grudge, Blue Book).
The Air Materiel Command (AMC) was a major command of the United States Air Force established on March 9, 1946, headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. AMC consolidated logistics, aircraft maintenance, and research and development functions across the USAF. Critically, AMC's Technical Intelligence Division at Wright Field became the focal point for official U.S. government UAP investigation starting in 1947, overseeing Project SIGN (1948), Project Grudge (1949–1952), and Project Blue Book (1952–1969)—collectively investigating 12,618 reported sightings. The command was redesignated the Air Force Logistics Command (AFLC) on April 1, 1961, though many of its original functions continued under the new designation.
