Disambiguation: Major Air Commands (MAJCOMs) are the primary organizational subdivisions of the United States Air Force, directly subordinate to Headquarters Air Force. Not to be confused with Numbered Air Forces (NAFs), which are subordinate to MAJCOMs.
Major Air Commands (MAJCOMs) are the highest organizational level in the United States Air Force subordinate only to Headquarters Air Force. Established with the Air Force's independence in 1947, MAJCOMs are major functional or geographic subdivisions responsible for specific mission areas. Currently, nine MAJCOMs operate (seven functional and two geographic), commanded by general officers (O-10). Historically significant in UFO/UAP investigations: Air Materiel Command (a MAJCOM) at Wright-Patterson AFB managed Project SIGN (1948), Project Grudge (1948), and later liaised with Project Blue Book (1952-1969), which investigated 12,618 UFO sightings.

Os Comandos Aéreos Principais (MAJCOMs) são o nível organizacional mais alto da Força Aérea dos Estados Unidos, subordinados apenas ao Quartel-General da Força Aérea. Estabelecidos com a independência da Força Aérea em 1947, os MAJCOMs são subdivisões funcionais ou geográficas principais responsáveis por áreas específicas de missão. Atualmente, nove MAJCOMs operam (sete funcionais e dois geográficos), comandados por oficiais generais (O-10). Historicamente significativo em investigações UFO/UAP: o Comando de Materiel da Força Aérea (um MAJCOM) na Base Aérea de Wright-Patterson gerenciou o Projeto SIGN (1948), Projeto Grudge (1948) e, posteriormente, se coordenou com o Projeto Blue Book (1952-1969), que investigou 12.618 avistamentos de OVNIs.
