Air Force Materiel Command careers

Air Force Materiel Command runs its side of the Air Force from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio: installation and mission support, discovery and development, test and evaluation, and life cycle management and sustainment across the service's major weapon systems. Nearly 89,000 military and civilian Airmen work under the command, which manages $80.2 billion in budget authority through six centers, the Air Force Research Laboratory, the Air Force Sustainment Center, and the Air Force Test Center among them. Systems get developed, tested, and kept flying inside this one command, which shapes the kind of careers it carries.
