AFC2ISRC : GCIC

The Air Force Command, Control, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Center (AFC2ISRC), later known as the Global Command and Control Intelligence Center (GCIC), was established in the late 1990s to enhance the U.S. Air Force’s ability to conduct integrated command and control (C2) and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations. Initially, AFC2ISRC played a pivotal role in developing and fielding advanced C2ISR capabilities, supporting both peacetime operations and combat missions such as those in the Balkans and the Middle East. The center was instrumental in integrating emerging technologies and doctrine to improve joint and coalition interoperability. In subsequent years, AFC2ISRC underwent realignments and redesignations, evolving into the GCIC and ultimately influencing the formation of the Air Force’s current C2ISR enterprise.
