Document Introduction

This document is the official organizational chart of the United States Air Force Life Cycle Management Center as of December 30, 2025. As the core agency for U.S. Air Force equipment acquisition and full life cycle management, the complexity and professionalism of AFLCMC's organizational structure directly reflect the current and future capability development priorities, project management models, and the depth of cross-service collaboration within the U.S. Air Force.

The report first details the center's highest command echelon, including key positions such as the Commander, Executive Director, Deputy Commander, and Command Chief Master Sergeant. Subsequently, the chart systematically presents the vast organizational network covering almost all Air Force equipment and support areas, structured around various Program Executive Offices and functional directorates. This includes directorates focused on specific equipment domains such as Armament, Propulsion, Mobility, Bomber, Fighter and Advanced Aircraft, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance and Special Operations Forces, as well as directorates responsible for key enabling areas like Cyber and Cyberspace, C3 and Battle Management, Electronics, Business and Enterprise Systems.

The document specifically notes several special command and reporting relationships, reflecting the complex coordination inherent in modern defense acquisition. For example, the C3 and Battle Management Directorate has an approved rating chain deviation to support the Air Force C3BM mission; the Joint Strike Fighter Directorate also has an approved rating chain deviation and is under the operational control of the Joint F-35 Program Executive Office, highlighting the cross-service joint nature of this program. Furthermore, several numbered Air Systems Groups, Squadrons, and Detachments, while formally assigned to the AFLCMC Commander, also have approved senior rater deviations, indicating the special and flexible nature of their missions.

The organizational chart also encompasses a wide range of core functional support departments for logistics, engineering, contracting, finance, intelligence, personnel, planning, etc., such as the Acquisition Excellence, Program Execution, Engineering, Logistics, Contracting, Financial Management, Intelligence directorates. These departments provide comprehensive, process-oriented professional support to frontline program offices. Finally, the document lists units responsible for the center's daily operations and base support, such as the 66th Air Base Group at Hanscom Air Force Base and the 88th Air Base Wing at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. This chart provides an authoritative baseline reference for understanding the governance structure, priority setting, and resource allocation of the U.S. Air Force equipment system.
