Eleventh Air Force
Six months after Eleventh Air Force had been redesignated in Alaska, another headquarters, also named Eleventh Air Force, was established on 13 May 1946 and activated at Olmsted Field, Pennsylvania, on 13 June 1946. This new organization was assigned to Air Defense Command.
Eighteenth Air Force
18 AF was reactivated on 1 October 2003 as part of an overall AMC reorganization to improve air mobility support to warfighters.
Born from the consolidation of AMC's 15th and 21st Air Forces under the leadership of Maj Gen Bill Essex , AMC'S Director of Plans and Programs, the command had a modest restart. By the time Lt Gen William Welser III was finally confirmed as commander a mere two months after reactivation, the 18 AF headquarters staff numbered 30 (of which more than half was the legal office).
