History

The first iteration of the AFSVC was established as the Air Force Moral, Welfare and Recreation Center on 5 February 1991 as a Field Operating Agency under Headquarters, U.S. Air Force Services. It held this name briefly until it was re-designated as the Moral, Welfare and Recreation Agency on 1 August 1991. The Agency was re-designated again as the Moral, Welfare and Recreation Services Agency on 2 Oct 1992. The Agency was once again re-designated, now as the Air Force Services Agency (AFSVA) on 1 Jan 1994. It held this designation until the Agency was inactivated on 1 June 2012. A few years later, the organization was reactivated as the Air Force Services Activity on 15 Dec 2014 under the Air Force Materiel Command. The Activity then became a subordinate unit to the Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center (AFIMSC) on 6 April 2015. AFIMSC then re-designated the AFSVA as the Air Force Services Center on 1 June 2019. [2]
