Which Geographic Combatant Command is headquartered at MacDill AFB, Florida?

• A. USCENTCOM
• B. USINDOPACOM
• C. USNORTHCOM
• D. USSPACECOM

Answer: (A)

Geographic Combatant Commands are organized by region, each with a fixed headquarters that focuses operations for that theater. U.S. Central Command, responsible for the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Central Asia, has its headquarters at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida. This placement aligns CENTCOM’s leadership with its primary area of responsibility and command-and-control needs. That’s why the correct choice is CENTCOM. The other commands are headquartered elsewhere—INDOPACOM in Hawaii, NORTHCOM in Colorado Springs, and Space Command in Colorado—so they are not based at MacDill.
