Command and control of AFCENT from Shaw, not CAOC

Maj. Gen. B. Chance Saltzman, U.S. Air Forces Central Command deputy commander, observes Airmen clearing out of the Combined Air & Space Operations Center’s Combat Operations Division floor during the historic operational transition exercise at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, Sept. 28, 2019. The command and control of air operations, which normally is handled at the CAOC, were temporarily transferred to Shaw Air Force Base, S.C. for 24 hours to demonstrate the flexibility and resiliency of the U.S. and Coalition air power.
