USA:s flygvapenminister, Secretary of the Air Force (förkortat SECAF eller SAF/OS), är chef för USA:s flygvapendepartement, som är ett militärdepartement inom USA:s försvarsdepartement.[2][3] Flygvapenministern, som måste vara en civilist, utnämns av presidenten med senatens råd och samtycke.[1]
Under försvarsministerns tillsyn har flygvapenministern till uppgift att leda, organisera och administrera flygvapendepartementet (Department of the Air Force) som omfattar det reguljära flygvapnet på aktiv stat (Regular Air Force), reservstyrkor (Air Force Reserve), flygnationalgardet, samt sedan 2019 även USA:s rymdstyrka.[1][4][5]
Ämbetet inrättades i och med att 1947 års nationella säkerhetsakt trädde i kraft, innan dess var USA:s arméflygvapen en del av USA:s armé.
Ämbetsuppgifter
Flygvapenministern har i lag tilldelats omfattande befogenheter över flygvapnet och rymdstyrkan, inklusive men inte begränsat till: rekrytering, organisering, förvaltning (inklusive personalens stridsmoral och välbefinnande), ärendehantering, proviant, utrustning (inklusive forskning och utveckling), utbildning, ekonomistyrning, mobilisering, samt demobilisering. Flygvapenministern överser också anförskaffning, byggnation, framställning, upprätthållande och reparation av flygvapnets flygplan, robotar, satelliter, kommunikationssystem, all annan materiel, och för flygvapnets baser samt tillhörande fastigheter. Flygvapenministern ansvarar för framtagande, utfärdande och implementering av direktiv, order, policy, samt program inom flygvapendepartementet som överensstämmer med de direktiv och uppsatta mål som satts upp av försvarsministern och presidenten.[1]
Flygvapenministern har sitt tjänstekontor i försvarshögkvarteret Pentagon. Närmast ministern finns en civil understatssekreterare (Under Secretary of the Air Force) och ministerns kansli (Office of the Secretary of the Air Force).[6][7] Flygvapenstabschefen är yrkessofficeraren i flygvapnet med högst rang och denne fungerar som flygvapenministerns militäre rådgivare, leder flygstaben (The Air Staff), samt är flygvapnets representant i Joint Chiefs of Staff.[8][9]
Uniform Code of Military Justice ger flygvapenministern en viktig roll i det militära rättssystemet för flygvapnet och rymdstyrkans del.[10] Flygvapenministern beslutar om flygvapnets organisation och indelning.[11]
Förutom de roller som flygvapendepartementet tilldelats av kongressen genom lag, eller i utförande av funktioner föreskrivna av försvarsministern eller presidenten; avträder flygvapenministern flygvapendepartementets certifierat stridsberedda förband till den operativa befälskedjan tillhörandes militärbefälhavarna på försvarsministerns befallning.[12] Flygvapenministern, liksom flygvapenstabschefen, saknar operativa befogenheter över flygvapnets förband när de är tilldelade militärbefälhavare, men flygvapenministern behåller ständigt administrativa befogenheter över flygvapenförbanden.
Arméministern och marinministern har motsvarande ansvar och befogenheter för armén respektive flottan och marinkåren.[13][14]
