The Air Force Association mission is to:

- Educate the public about the critical role of aerospace power in the defense of our nation

- Advocate aerospace power and a strong national defense

- Support the United States Air Force, the Air Force family, and Aerospace Education

 The mission is expected to be carried out by all members individually and through AFA chapters, State and Region boards and AFA headquarters.  The William A. Jones III Chapter, one of the ten chapters in Virginia, carries out the mission in its area of responsibility with the support of member volunteers.
