The commander of the Eleventh Air Force also serves as the commander of United States Northern Command's sub-unified Alaskan Command, and as commander of the Alaskan North American Aerospace Defense Command Region.
This mission is accomplished largely through the PACAF Regional Support Center (PRSC), the 611th Air and Space Operations Center, and units of the Alaska Air National Guard (AKANG). Together, they provide a network of critical air surveillance and command, control and communications functions necessary to perform tactical warning and attack assessment in defense of Alaska.The 11th Air Force has two major units that are gained upon their activation. These units are part of the Alaska Air National Guard.
