Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center

The Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center team takes care of Airmen, Guardians, and families and keeps airfields and infrastructure combat ready by managing installation and mission support programs for more than 30 Air Force specialties and 83 installations across the Air Force and Space Force. The team of more than 4,000 AFIMSC military members and government civilians are as diverse as the more than 150 installation and mission support (I&MS) capabilities the center delivers to support operations in these areas: Airmen, Guardian and family readiness, morale, welfare and recreation services, base communications, chaplain corps, civil engineering, financial management, logistics readiness, operational acquisition, public affairs, and security forces. With headquarters at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas, AFIMSC, by virtue of its global mission, has operating locations at more than 140 locations around the world. AFIMSC has four primary subordinate units: Air Force Civil Engineer Center, Air Force Installation Contracting Center, Air Force Security Forces Center, and Air Force Services Center. The center also has 10 detachments that support Space Force headquarters, Air Force major commands and Air Force District of Washington. AFIMSC activated April 6, 2015, reached Initial Operational Capability Oct. 1, 2015, and a year later achieved Full Operational Capability in October 2016. The Air Force stood up the center to make the best use of limited resources in managing and operating its installations. Centralization of management support helps the Air Force realize better effectiveness and efficiency in providing installation and expeditionary combat support capabilities to commanders and mission partners. The consolidation of enterprise-level installation and mission support operations at AFIMSC also helps commanders focus on their primary mission areas. **Mission** Deliver globally integrated installation and mission support to enhance warfighter readiness and lethality for America’s Air and Space Forces. **Vision** One integrated AFIMSC team revolutionizing combat power and installation support for Airmen, Guardians and families.
