long after activation, ACC underwent organizational and mission changes. The first such major change was the transfer of the <a href="/wiki/Combat_search_and_rescue" title="Combat search and rescue">combat search and rescue</a> (CSAR) mission from <a href="/wiki/Air_Mobility_Command" title="Air Mobility Command">Air Mobility Command</a> to ACC. With the realigning of search and rescue units, ACC gained additional resources, as well as a new mission. The formal transfer took place on 1 February 1993, when the <a href="/wiki/Air_Rescue_Service" class="mw-redirect" title="Air Rescue Service">Air Rescue Service</a> (ARS) was assigned to ACC. On 2 July of the same year, the ARS was disestablished and rescue units became fully integrated in the same manner as other ACC units reporting to numbered air forces. The USAF Combat Rescue School was subsequently assigned to the 57th Wing at <a href="/wiki/Nellis_AFB" class="mw-redirect" title="Nellis AFB">Nellis AFB</a>, Nevada.<sup id="cite_ref-multiacchist_12-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-multiacchist-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Flight_training">Flight training</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Air_Combat_Command&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Flight training"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>One of the most significant changes for Air Combat Command resulted from an overhaul of flying training responsibilities. Following its activation, ACC was responsible for aircraft-specific aircrew training, including initial weapon system and continuation training. On 1 July 1993, the 58th and 325th Fighter Wings—F-16 and F-15 training units transferred from ACC to <a href="/wiki/Air_Education_and_Training_Command" title="Air Education and Training Command">Air Education and Training Command</a> (AETC). Concurrently, <a href="/wiki/Luke_AFB" class="mw-redirect" title="Luke AFB">Luke AFB</a>, Arizona, and <a href="/wiki/Tyndall_AFB" class="mw-redirect" title="Tyndall AFB">Tyndall AFB</a>, Florida, for which those respective wings were the host units, also moved from ACC to AETC ownership. However, on 1 October 2012, both Tyndall AFB and the 325th Fighter Wing returned to the control of ACC.<sup id="cite_ref-multiacchist_12-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-multiacchist-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Tanker_and_airlift">Tanker and airlift</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Air_Combat_Command&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Tanker and airlift"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The next major organizational change resulted from a fine-tuning of <a href="/wiki/Aerial_refueling" title="Aerial refueling">aerial refueling</a> and <a href="/wiki/Airlift" title="Airlift">airlift</a> resources. From its activation, Air Combat Command had assumed ownership of some <a href="/wiki/C-130_Hercules" class="mw-redirect" title="C-130 Hercules">C-130 Hercules</a> theater airlift assets and <a href="/wiki/KC-10_Extender" class="mw-redirect" title="KC-10 Extender">KC-10 Extender</a> and <a href="/wiki/KC-135_Stratotanker" class="mw-redirect" title="KC-135 Stratotanker">KC-135 Stratotankers</a>. Just as ownership of overseas C-130 resources had already been transferred to <a href="/wiki/USAFE" class="mw-redirect" title="USAFE">USAFE</a> and <a href="/wiki/PACAF" class="mw-redirect" title="PACAF">PACAF</a> commanders, it was decided that all C-130s based in the CONUS would be under the control of ACC, while at the same time, almost all KC-135 tankers would be assigned to <a href="/wiki/Air_Mobility_Command" title="Air Mobility Command">Air Mobility Command</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-multiacchist_12-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-multiacchist-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>There was historical precedent for the reassignment of C-130s to Air Combat Command. During the earliest days of <a href="/wiki/Tactical_Air_Command" title="Tactical Air Command">Tactical Air Command</a> (TAC), the command had carried out the "tactical" or combat airborne aspect of airlift operations, leaving the "strategic" or logistical mission to <a href="/wiki/Military_Air_Transport_Service" title="Military Air Transport Service">Military Air Transport Service</a>, later redesignated <a href="/wiki/Military_Airlift_Command" title="Military Airlift Command">Military Airlift Command</a> (the precursor of today's <a href="/wiki/Air_Mobility_Command" title="Air Mobility Command">Air Mobility Command</a>) in 1966. The tactical airlift mission included logistical airlift, airborne operations, aeromedical evacuation, and air support for special operations. This division of the airlift mission continued until 1 December 1974, when TAC transferred its CONUS-based tactical airlift units, including Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard tactical airlift units, to <a href="/wiki/Military_Airlift_Command" title="Military Airlift Command">Military Airlift Command</a> (MAC). MAC gained the overseas units from theater commands on 31 March 1975.<sup id="cite_ref-multiacchist_12-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-multiacchist-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On 1 October 1993, all Air Mobility Command C-130s with the exception of those permanently under <a href="/wiki/United_States_Air_Forces_in_Europe" class="mw-redirect" title="United States Air Forces in Europe">United States Air Forces in Europe</a> (USAFE) and <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Air_Forces" title="Pacific Air Forces">Pacific Air Forces</a> (PACAF) regions were transferred to ACC, while USAFE and PACAF assumed control of the C-130 permanently based in their respective geographic regions. Concurrently, all KC-10 tankers and all KC-135 tankers except those at <a href="/wiki/Mountain_Home_AFB" class="mw-redirect" title="Mountain Home AFB">Mountain Home AFB</a>, Idaho, which supported the fighter and bomber aircraft of the composite wing stationed there, transferred to AMC.

Provide Promise offered humanitarian relief airlift support to the city of <a href="/wiki/Sarajevo" title="Sarajevo">Sarajevo</a>, while Deny Flight enforced the "no-fly" zone against Serb air attacks on Bosnian civilians. Operation Provide Comfort, another humanitarian operation, also provided relief to Kurdish inhabitants of northern Iraq who had undergone fierce repression by the Iraqi government.<sup id="cite_ref-multiacchist_12-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-multiacchist-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In addition, ACC supported United States Atlantic Command's humanitarian relief to Haitian refugees associated with Operation GTMO at <a href="/wiki/Guantanamo_Bay_Naval_Base" title="Guantanamo Bay Naval Base">Guantanamo Bay Naval Base</a>, Cuba. Similarly, the command supported <a href="/wiki/Operations_Safe_Haven_and_Safe_Passage" title="Operations Safe Haven and Safe Passage">Operation Safe Haven</a> and the processing of Cuban refugees during the latter part of the summer of 1994. Across the Atlantic, Air Combat Command units participated in Operation Restore Hope, largely an <a href="/wiki/Air_Mobility_Command" title="Air Mobility Command">Air Mobility Command</a> humanitarian operation intended to provide food for Somalia. Also, ACC regular and ACC-gained <a href="/wiki/Air_National_Guard" title="Air National Guard">Air National Guard</a> C-130 units deployed to Uganda and Kenya to participate in Operation Support Hope.
