The Air Force Command ({{langx|de|Kommando Luftwaffe, Kdo Lw}}) is the high command of the German Air Force of the Bundeswehr as well as the staff of the Inspector of the Air Force. It was formed in 2012, as a merger of the German Air Staff (Führungsstab der Luftwaffe) with parts of the Air Force Office (Luftwaffenamt), and the Air Force Forces Command (Luftwaffenführungskommando), as part of a larger reorganization of the Bundeswehr. The headquarters of the command are in Gatow, Berlin, but some of the staff is in Köln instead.{{cite web|url=http://www.bundeswehr.de/resource/resource/MzEzNTM4MmUzMzMyMmUzMTM1MzMyZTM2MzIzMDMwMzAzMDMwMzAzMDY4NjM2MTM0MzM3OTc2NzIyMDIwMjAyMDIw/Kommando%20Luftwaffe.pdf |title=Kommando Luftwaffe |date=23 January 2013 |accessdate=9 July 2013 |publisher=Bundeswehr |author=Bundesministerium der Verteidigung, Presse- und Informationsstab |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130712014917/http://www.bundeswehr.de/resource/resource/MzEzNTM4MmUzMzMyMmUzMTM1MzMyZTM2MzIzMDMwMzAzMDMwMzAzMDY4NjM2MTM0MzM3OTc2NzIyMDIwMjAyMDIw/Kommando%20Luftwaffe.pdf |archivedate=12 July 2013 }}
