The position of Commanding General was the senior leadership role for this major command.

Air Materiel Command (AMC) was a major command of the United States Air Force established on March 9, 1946, through the redesignation of the Air Technical Service Command. Headquartered at Wright Field (later Wright-Patterson Air Force Base) in Ohio, AMC consolidated research, development, procurement, supply, and maintenance functions for Air Force materiel. The organization was responsible for the Technical Intelligence Division that assumed control of Project SIGN in 1948 and later oversaw investigations into unidentified flying objects. AMC was reorganized on April 1, 1961, splitting into the Air Force Logistics Command and Air Force Systems Command, with its functions later reunited in the modern Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) in 1992.
