AFAFC

The Air Force Accounting and Finance Center (AFAFC) was established in 1948 in Denver, Colorado, as part of the United States Air Force’s efforts to centralize and streamline financial management following World War II. The center was responsible for handling the Air Force’s worldwide accounting, payroll, and financial services, supporting both active-duty and retired personnel. Over the decades, AFAFC played a crucial role in modernizing military pay systems and implementing advanced financial technologies. In 1991, its functions were merged into the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), marking the end of AFAFC as a standalone unit.
