History: Established as Fifteenth Air Force on 30 October 1943. Activated on 1 November 1943. Inactivated on 15 September 1945. Activated on 31 March 1946. Redesignated as 15 Expeditionary Mobility Task Force on 1 October 2003. Inactivated on 20 March 2012. Redesignated as Fifteenth Air Force on 30 March 2012. Activated on 20 August 2020. In late 1943, Fifteenth Air Force was newly established in the Mediterranean theater as a strategic air force. The new air force drew its operational units from existing air forces in the European and Mediterranean theaters and commenced combat operations the day after it was formed. In the postwar years it became one of Strategic Air Command's primary numbered air forces. Upon its transfer to Air Mobility Command in 1992, Fifteenth Air Force assumed responsibility for airlift and air refueling missions. Beginning in 2003, served as an expeditionary task force conducting air mobility operations in support of worldwide contingencies, humanitarian operations, exercises and other missions.
