10 Air Force (U.S. Army) Color Changing Coffee Mug

The term "10 Air Force (U.S. Army)" is a misnomer as it incorrectly suggests an affiliation with both the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Army. In reality, it refers to the Tactical Air Command's 10th Air Force, which was part of the U.S. Air Force during the Cold War era. This command was responsible for air defense operations in the Far East. Established on October 1, 1952, and headquartered in Japan, it played a crucial role in maintaining security during the tense period between the end of World War II and the normalization of U.S.-Japan relations. The command was discontinued in 1973 as part of reorganizations within the U.S. Air Force structure.
