USAF Recruiting Command

The United States Air Force Recruiting Command was originally established in 1954 as the Air Force Recruiting Service, tasked with meeting the growing personnel needs of the newly independent Air Force. Throughout the Cold War, it developed innovative recruiting strategies and expanded its reach across the nation to ensure a steady flow of qualified airmen. In 1994, the organization was redesignated as the Air Force Recruiting Service (AFRS) and assigned under Air Education and Training Command (AETC), further refining its mission to attract talented individuals for both enlisted and officer ranks. Over the decades, USAF Recruiting Command has played a vital role in shaping the force by adapting to changing military requirements and societal shifts, ensuring the Air Force remains ready and capable.
