Chief of Staff of the Air Force (CSAF), and the Chief of Space Operations (CSO) in carrying out
the history and museums program for the Department of the Air Force (DAF). The SecAF retains
ultimate responsibility for all policies related to the DAF. Within his/her areas of responsibility,
AF/HO prepares policies for approval and issues official guidance/procedures, via official Air

necessary to conduct, the affairs of the DAF. The Secretariat, the CSAF, the CSO, and their
respective staff offices perform their DAF functions subject to the authority, direction and
control of the SecAF.
