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.
Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton KCB serves as the Chief of the Air Staff, the professional head of the Royal Air Force, alongside Air Marshal Paul Lloyd CBE, the Deputy Chief of the Air Staff. Warrant Officer Murugesvaran Subramaniam was appointed the senior Warrant Officer of the RAF in April 2023. Air Marshal Allan Marshall was appointed Air and Space Commander in March 2024.
