Which MAJCOM serves as the primary provider of combat airpower?

Air Combat Command (ACC) serves as the primary provider of combat airpower within the U.S. Air Force. Its mission encompasses not just the readiness and maintenance of combat forces but also the execution of air operations and strategy. ACC controls a variety of aircraft and capabilities that are essential for air superiority, precision strike missions, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance tasks.

By overseeing all combat-related air units and ensuring they are prepared for deployment and missions, ACC directly contributes to the Air Force’s operational capacity and effectiveness in combat scenarios. This command's focus on integrating and optimizing air power ensures that the U.S. maintains a dominant presence in any engagement it becomes involved in.

Other commands like Air Education and Training Command (AETC) focus on training airmen and developing future leaders, while Air Mobility Command (AMC) is primarily concerned with airlift and logistical support. Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) specializes in unconventional warfare and specialized missions but does not serve as the primary provider of general combat airpower in the same comprehensive sense as ACC.
