Air Force Air Logistics Center

The Air Force Air Logistics Centers (ALCs) are vital components of the United States Air Force's logistics and sustainment infrastructure, dating back to their establishment during World War II. Initially created to support the rapid expansion of air operations, ALCs became responsible for depot-level maintenance, repair, and overhaul of aircraft, engines, and related systems. Over the decades, these centers—such as those at Hill, Robins, and Tinker Air Force Bases—have evolved to support increasingly sophisticated weapon systems and global operations. Today, Air Logistics Centers play a crucial role in ensuring the readiness and longevity of the Air Force fleet, adapting to technological advancements and operational demands.
