Air Force Reserve becomes a Major Command.

Feb. 17, 1997 - The Air Force Reserve was redesignated as Air Force Reserve Command, becoming the Air Force's ninth major command. This resulted from the Air Force's increasing reliance on its reserve components during the 1990?s. The fiscal 1997 National Defense Authorization Act directed each of the military services to establish "reserve commands." Title XII, Reserve Forces Revitalization, Section 10174, instructed the Secretary of the Air Force to establish an "Air Force Reserve Command."
