Direct Reporting Units
A Direct Reporting Unit (DRU) is an agency of the United States Air Force that is outside the bounds of the standard organizational hierarchy by being exclusively and uniquely under the control of Air Force headquarters alone.
Field Operating Agencies
A Field Operating Agency (FOA) is a subdivision of the Air Force, directly subordinate to a HQ USAF functional manager. An FOA performs field activities beyond the scope of any of the major commands. The activities are specialized or associated with an Air Force wide mission. See Category:Field Operating Agency emblems of the United States Air Force.

Numbered Air Forces
A Numbered Air Force (NAF) is a level of command directly under a MAJCOM. NAFs are tactical echelons that provide operational leadership and supervision. They are not management headquarters and do not have complete functional staffs. Many NAFs are responsible for MAJCOM operations in a specific geographic region or theater of operations. The number of persons assigned to a NAF headquarters varies from case to case, but should not exceed 99 manpower authorizations without an approved waiver. See Category:Numbered Air Force emblems of the United States Air Force.

Wings
A wing is a level of command below the Numbered Air Force or higher headquarters. A wing has a distinct mission with significant scope. A wing is usually composed of a primary mission group (e.g., operations, training) and the necessary supporting groups. See also Category:Wing emblems of the United States Air Force.
Groups
The group is a level of command below the wing and consisting of two or more squadrons. A group has a distinct mission with significant scope (e.g., operations, support, medical, maintenance). Group emblems are often the same as their parent wing (if they have one) but with the group designation in the scroll. See also Category:Group emblems of the United States Air Force.
