The Air Force Office (german: Luftwaffenamt, LwA) was a high command authority of the
German Air Force of the Bundeswehr, responsible for the conceptual planning as well as the training, supply, and equipment of the Air Force. In 2013, it was disbanded after its functions were merged into the new
Air Force Command (''Kommando Luftwaffe''), along with those of the other high command bodies of the German Air Force.
In addition to the Air Force Office and
Air Force Forces Command, a number of their subordinate units were disbanded, including the Air Force Training Command.
