About USAF Almanac 2009
On the following pages appears a variety of information and statistical material about the US Air Force—its people, organization, equipment, funding, activities, bases, and heroes. This Almanac section was compiled by the staff of Air Force Magazine. We especially acknowledge the help of the Secretary of the Air Force Office of Public Affairs, Air Staff agencies, major commands, and reserve components in bringing up to date the comparable data from last year’s Almanac.

A word of caution: Personnel figures that appear in this section in different forms will not always agree (nor will they always agree with figures in major command, field operating agency, and direct reporting unit reports or in the “Guide to USAF Installations Worldwide”) because of different cutoff dates, rounding, differing methods of reporting, or categories of personnel that are excluded in some cases. These figures do illustrate trends, however, and may be helpful in placing force fluctuations in perspective.
