Structure of the Royal Air Force
This is the structure of the Royal Air Force, as of October 2020.
Air Command
Air Command was formed as a merger of Strike Command, and Personnel and Training Command to administer the majority of operational units within the RAF. It doesn't have an overall commander, but instead two deputy commanders– one for Operations and one for Capability. The Deputy Commander (Operations) has been Air Marshal Gerry Mayhew, since May 2019; and the Deputy Commander (Capability) has been Air Marshal Andrew Turner, also since May 2019.
