A cadre of Air Force officers work under the title Air Component Coordination Element in Afghanistan, where they both the International Security and Assistance Force and the US-led Combined Joint Task Force 76. Officers with the ACCE, who provide expertise to meld air and space assets into any campaign, did operate primarily from Bagram Air Base, but with the rise of ISAF, they’ve had to create another element in Kabul.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
