Which command is headquartered at MacDill AFB, Tampa, Florida?

• A. USCENTCOM
• B. USAFRICOM
• C. USEUCOM
• D. USNORTHCOM

Answer: (A)

This question tests your knowledge of where the unified combatant commands are headquartered. United States Central Command, which oversees operations in the Middle East and parts of Central Asia, is headquartered at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida. The choice of MacDill supports regional operations and air mobility for CENTCOM’s area of responsibility, and CENTCOM has been based there since its establishment. Other commands are based elsewhere—Africa Command and European Command in Germany, and North American Command in Colorado—so MacDill is the site for CENTCOM.
