Disambiguation: HEADQUARTERS FOURTH AIR FORCE refers to the command headquarters of the Fourth Air Force (a numbered air force), not the entire air force organization itself. Originally established as Southwest Air District in 1940, redesignated Fourth Air Force in 1941. Currently operates under Air Force Reserve Command.

The Headquarters Fourth Air Force is the command headquarters of a United States Air Force numbered air force established on 18 December 1940 as the Southwest Air District at March Field, California, and redesignated as Fourth Air Force on 26 March 1941. During World War II, it served as the primary air defense command for the West Coast and conducted antisubmarine patrols along coastal areas. Postwar, the command was assigned to Air Defense Command (1946) and Continental Air Command (1948), focused on continental air defense. Though inactivated in 1960 and again 1969, Fourth Air Force was reactivated in 1966 and permanently restored in 1998 at March Air Reserve Base, Riverside, California, where it now operates as a numbered air force of the Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) managing over 30,000 reservists across multiple airlift and air refueling wings.
