11 Air Force (U.S. Army) The 11th Air Force, historically part of the United States Army, is a disestablished air component command of the U.S. Army. Established during World War II in 1942, it was responsible for providing air support to ground forces in various theaters. Over the years, it played significant roles in operations such as the D-Day invasion and the Battle of the Bulge. The command was subsequently disestablished after the end of World War II, and its duties were absorbed by other branches of the U.S. military. Today, understanding the history and operations of the 11th Air Force serves as a crucial part of studying the evolution and development of the U.S. Army's air component command structure.
