RAF Support Command

RAF Support Command

Support Command of the Royal Air Force was formed on 31 August 1973 by the renaming of Maintenance Command, with No. 90 (Signals) Group being added to it. Its responsibilities included all logistical and maintenance support requirements of the RAF. It was renamed as RAF Support Command, and its role further increased, on 13 June 1977 when it absorbed Training Command, making it additionally responsible for all RAF ground and aircrew training.

In 1994 the Command was split up, with many of its functions merging with those of the RAF Personnel Management Centre to form Personnel and Training Command, and others being hived off into Logistics Command.
