Air officer commanding (AOC) is a title given in the air forces of Commonwealth (and some other) nations to an air officer who holds a command appointment which typically comprises a large, organized collection of air force assets.〔(Bowyer, Richard ''Dictionary of Military Terms'', p. 6 )〕 Thus, an air vice marshal might be the AOC 38 Group. The equivalent term for army officers is general officer commanding (GOC) from where the air force term was derived. An air officer heading a particularly large or important command may be called an air officer commanding-in-chief (AOC-in-C). ==Royal Air Force usage== In the RAF those air officers who command a group are styled air officer commanding, followed by the name of the group. Currently, there are four AOCs: * AOC 1 Group * AOC 2 Group * AOC 22 Group * AOC 38 Group This title is also used for the appointment of the United Kingdom Air Component Commander in the Middle East, who is dual-hatted as AOC 83 Expeditionary Air Group. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Air officer commanding」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
