Military unit

**Twenty-Fifth Air Force** (**25 AF**), was a [numbered air force](/source/Numbered_Air_Force) (NAF) within the [United States Air Force](/source/United_States_Air_Force) (USAF), and served as the Air Force's premier [military intelligence](/source/Military_intelligence) organization. 25 AF was established on 29 September 2014[4] by redesignating the [Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency](/source/Air_Force_Intelligence%2C_Surveillance_and_Reconnaissance_Agency) (a [field operating agency](/source/Field_Operating_Agency)) under Headquarters, United States Air Force, to a numbered air force aligned under [Air Combat Command](/source/Air_Combat_Command). The USAF also realigned the [9th Reconnaissance Wing](/source/9th_Reconnaissance_Wing) and the [55th Wing](/source/55th_Wing) under the new NAF. It was headquartered at [Lackland Air Force Base](/source/Lackland_Air_Force_Base), Texas.

Its primary mission was to provide [intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance](/source/Intelligence%2C_surveillance_and_reconnaissance) (ISR) products, applications, capabilities and resources, to include cyber and geospatial forces and expertise. Additionally, it is the service cryptologic component (SCC) responsible to the [National Security Agency](/source/National_Security_Agency) and [Central Security Service](/source/Central_Security_Service) for Air Force [cryptographic](/source/Cryptographic) activities.[5]

25th AF was originally activated as the [United States Air Force Security Service](/source/United_States_Air_Force_Security_Service) on 20 October 1948, at [Arlington Hall](/source/Arlington_Hall), [Washington, D.C.](/source/Washington%2C_D.C.), with a mission of [cryptology](/source/Cryptology) and [communications security](/source/Communications_security).[6]

25th AF was last commanded by [Major General](/source/Major_General) Timothy D. Haugh.[7]

On 11 October 2019, the 25th AF and the [24th AF](/source/Twenty-Fourth_Air_Force) inactivated, and subsequently transferred their missions to the newly activated [16th Air Force](/source/Sixteenth_Air_Force).

## Overview

The organization organizes, trains, equips and presents assigned forces and capabilities to conduct intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance for combatant commanders and the nation. It also implements and oversees the execution of Air Force policies intended to expand ISR capabilities.

The organization comprises over 30,000 people at about 65 locations worldwide.

On 14 July 2014, the [Secretary](/source/United_States_Secretary_of_the_Air_Force) and [Chief of Staff](/source/Chief_of_Staff_of_the_United_States_Air_Force) of the Air Force announced that the Air Force ISR Agency would be reorganized into the **Twenty-Fifth Air Force**, a [numbered air force](/source/Numbered_air_force) assigned to [Air Combat Command](/source/Air_Combat_Command), on 1 October 2014.[8][9] The redesignation took place on 29 September 2014 at [Joint Base San Antonio](/source/Joint_Base_San_Antonio).

### United States Air Force Security Service

Air Force Intelligence was first established as the **United States Air Force Security Service** (USAFSS) on 20 October 1948.[6] The service was headquartered at [Arlington Hall](/source/Arlington_Hall), a former girls school and the headquarters of the United States Army's [Signals Intelligence Service](/source/Signals_Intelligence_Service) (SIS) cryptography effort during [World War II](/source/World_War_II). The USAFSS was tasked with the [cryptology](/source/Cryptology) and [communications security](/source/Communications_security) missions of the newly formed [United States Air Force](/source/United_States_Air_Force). The USAFSS moved to [Brooks Air Force Base](/source/Brooks_Air_Force_Base), in [San Antonio](/source/San_Antonio), Texas, in April 1949, and then to "Security Hill" at nearby [Kelly Air Force Base](/source/Kelly_Air_Force_Base) in August 1953.

During the [Korean War](/source/Korean_War), the USAFSS personnel provided [United Nations Command](/source/United_Nations_Command) units with intelligence on the movements of major [Korean People's Army](/source/Korean_People's_Army) forces from [Manchuria](/source/Manchuria) to [Wonsan](/source/Wonsan). USAFSS personnel received [Korean Language](/source/Korean_Language) training at [Yale University](/source/Yale_University), and flew on the [Douglas C-47 Skytrain](/source/Douglas_C-47_Skytrain) to relay communications to allied ground forces on the [Korean Peninsula](/source/Korean_Peninsula).

During the early days of the [Cold War](/source/Cold_War), USAFSS crews flew missions on several aircraft converted for intelligence missions, including the [Boeing B-29 Superfortress](/source/Boeing_B-29_Superfortress), the [Lockheed C-130A-II Dreamboat](/source/Lockheed_MC-130),[11] and the [Strategic Air Command](/source/Strategic_Air_Command)'s [Boeing RB-50 Superfortress](/source/Boeing_RB-50_Superfortress) and [Boeing RC-135](/source/Boeing_RC-135). The USAFSS established communications stations in Germany, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Scotland, and later installed [AN/FLR-9](/source/AN%2FFLR-9) "Elephant Cage" radar sites in Alaska, England, Italy, Japan, the Philippines, and Turkey.

The USAFSS became involved in the [Vietnam War](/source/Vietnam_War) when the [Pacific Air Forces](/source/Pacific_Air_Forces) asked it to establish an Air Force Special Security Office at [Tan Son Nhut Airport](/source/Tan_Son_Nhut_Airport) near [Saigon](/source/Saigon) in 1961. By the following year, a USAFSS squadron and three subordinate detachments were operating in Vietnam and Thailand, and USAFSS personnel supported [College Eye](/source/Lockheed_EC-121_Warning_Star#College_Eye) threat warning operations. USAFSS crews also flew on [Douglas EC-47 Skytrain](/source/Douglas_EC-47_Skytrain) missions to search for aircrew shot down in North Vietnam; RC-130BII Hercules Airborne Communications Reconnaissance Program (ACRP) [SIGINT](/source/SIGINT) platforms launched out of Thailand and Da Nang Air Base, Viet Nam; and, commencing in 1967, SAC RC-135s deployed to and operating out of [Kadena Air Base](/source/Kadena_Air_Base), Okinawa.

### Electronic Security Command

On 1 August 1979, the Air Force redesignated the USAFSS as the **Electronic Security Command** (ESC), reflecting the organization's additional mission of improving the Air Force's use of [electronic warfare](/source/Electronic_warfare) technology in combat. In 1985, the Air Force tasked ESC with computer security, in addition to its intelligence and electronic warfare missions.

ESC provided intelligence support to the [United States invasion of Panama](/source/United_States_invasion_of_Panama) in 1989 and were among the first U.S. military personnel to arrive in [Saudi Arabia](/source/Saudi_Arabia) for the [Gulf War](/source/Gulf_War). During that conflict, ESC personnel operated at three different locations in Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

### Air Force Intelligence Command

On 1 October 1991, the Air Force redesignated ESC as the **Air Force Intelligence Command** (AFIC) and consolidated Air Force intelligence functions and resources into a single command. AFIC merged ESC with the Air Force Foreign Technology Center at [Wright-Patterson Air Force Base](/source/Wright-Patterson_Air_Force_Base), Ohio, the Air Special Activities Center at [Fort Belvoir](/source/Fort_Belvoir), Virginia, and elements of the Air Force Intelligence Agency, Washington, D.C. With the combined missions, AFIC was tasked with intelligence, security, electronic combat, foreign technology, and treaty monitoring.

### Air Intelligence Agency

The organization was redesignated again when it became the **Air Intelligence Agency** on 1 October 1993. During the 1990s, AIA personnel deployed to support [NATO](/source/NATO) operations during the [Bosnian War](/source/Bosnian_War) and [Kosovo War](/source/Kosovo_War), and as part of Operations [Southern Watch](/source/Operation_Southern_Watch) and [Northern Watch](/source/Operation_Northern_Watch) in Southwest Asia.

In February 2001, the Air Force assigned AIA to [Air Combat Command](/source/Air_Combat_Command), where it provided support to combat operations in the [war on terror](/source/War_on_terror), the [War in Afghanistan](/source/War_in_Afghanistan_(2001%E2%80%93present)), and the [Iraq War](/source/Iraq_War).

### Air Force ISR Agency

In August 2006, General [T. Michael Moseley](/source/T._Michael_Moseley), the [Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force](/source/Chief_of_Staff_of_the_United_States_Air_Force), directed that the Air Force intelligence efforts stress intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities. AIA was eventually redesignated the **Air Force ISR Agency** (AFISRA) on 8 June 2007. The organization change included transforming AFISRA into a field operating agency and reassigning it from Air Combat Command to Headquarters Air Force. With the change, AFISRA reported to the Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance.

Beginning in 2009, AFISRA personnel deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan to support [MC-12W](/source/Beechcraft_C-12_Huron#King_Air_350-based_variants) as part of Project Liberty.
