The [[United States Air Force]] established the '''Air Force Agency for Modeling and Simulation''' ('''AFAMS''') in June 1996 at [[Orlando, Florida]]. AFAMS mission is to enhance and leverage Modeling & Simulation to support and facilitate integrated, realistic and efficient operational training across warfighting domains to enable full-spectrum readiness. AFAMS vision is advance readiness through Live, Virtual and Constructive (LVC) training.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.afams.af.mil/Home/Mission-and-Vision/ |title=Mission and Vision |access-date=2021-04-21 |archive-date=2021-04-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210421023333/https://www.afams.af.mil/Home/Mission-and-Vision/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Air Force Mission Directive 56 established AFAMS with the following mandates:

* Implementation of Air Force, Joint, and DoD M&S policy and standards.

* Support for corporate Air Force M&S planning, requirements, and investment.

* Support for Air Force decision making and mission execution.

AFAMS is a field operating agency ofoperating under the OfficeTraining and Readiness directorate (AF/A3T) within the [[Structure of Warfightingthe IntegrationUnited andStates ChiefAir InformationForce|Headquarters OfficerAir (SAF/CIOForce]] A6)organization inat the Pentagon. ItAFAMS is located in the [[Central Florida Research Park]], adjacent to the [[Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division]] and '''Naval Support Activity Orlando''', along with numerous other DoD, joint, service, contractor, and educational organizations focused on modeling, simulation and simulationtraining (MS&T). Proximity to these other agencies is intended to provide the Air Force "the maximum leverage and advantage of the developing programs and technologies enhancing the Air Force ability to provide ready forces."{{fact|date=January 2024}}
