The Ninth Air Force is a United States Air Forces Central (USAFCENT).

Until August 2009, the Ninth Air Force shared its commander with USAFCENT.[2] In a complicated transfer of lineage, the Second World War-and after heritage of the Ninth Air Force was bestowed solely on United States Air Forces Central, and a new Ninth Air Force, which technically had no previous history, was activated on the U.S. East Coast.

This article deals with the current organization, as the lineage of the previous organization currently belongs to USAFCENT.
