US Central Command

The United States Central Command (USCENTCOM) is a Unified Combatant Command of the U.S. Department of Defense, founded in 1983, headquartered in Tampa, Florida. As a government military organization, it oversees U.S. operations in the Middle East, Central Asia, and parts of South Asia. Key activities include combat operations, security cooperation, and threat monitoring. In UAP/UFO context, USCENTCOM contributes to DoD-wide reporting under AARO and UAPTF, with personnel required to report UAP observations within two weeks. The FY2026 NDAA mandates Pentagon briefings on UAP intercepts by commands like USNORTHCOM, implying similar roles for regional commands including USCENTCOM in airspace defense. No specific UAP programs or achievements are uniquely attributed to USCENTCOM; it operates within broader DoD frameworks addressing anomalous phenomena as potential threats. Currently active.
