Where is the headquarters of Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) located?

• A. Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio
• B. Wright-Patterson AFB, Illinois
• C. Edwards AFB, California
• D. Andrews AFB, Maryland

Answer: (A)

The concept tested is knowing where the Air Force Materiel Command is headquartered. AFMC’s headquarters sits at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. This location aligns the command with the Air Force’s central research, development, testing, and acquisition ecosystem, placing leadership near key laboratories, centers, and programs that manage the life cycle of Air Force weapons and systems. The other bases listed are real installations but do not serve as AFMC’s headquarters: Edwards AFB in California is a major test and evaluation site, Andrews AFB in Maryland is near Washington, D.C., and there is no Wright-Patterson AFB in Illinois. Therefore, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio is the correct location.
