History

On 1 January 2008, Twenty-Third Air Force stood up at Hurlburt Field, Florida as Air Force Special Operations Command's only Numbered Air Force.[1] It was established as the headquarters to execute Air Force Special Operations Command missions supporting United States Special Operations Command.[2]

The mission of Twenty-Third Air Force was to provide special operations forces to deployed air commanders. Its mission was to monitor and control global special operations activity to senior leadership; providing trained special operations command and control, intelligence, and weather support elements to theater special operations commanders and executing command and control for air, space and cyberspace operations supporting United States Special Operations Command.[2]

Its 623d Air and Space Operations Center included personnel and equipment to form joint special operations air components, responsible for planning and executing joint special operations air activities. and integrating special operations operations with conventional air operations. The 23d Weather Squadron provided global weather coverage for Joint, Army and Air Force special operations missions. The 11th Intelligence Squadron created intelligence products tailored for special operations missions. Finally, the 18th Flight Test Squadron evaluated aircraft, equipment, and tactics to assess their mission capability.[2]

Upon its inactivation its mission was transferred to its subordinate 623d Air Operations Center, which was reassigned to Air Force Special Operations Command and renamed the Air Force Special Operations Command Operations Center.[3]
