Joint Operational Support Airlift Center (JOSAC) is the airlift branch of United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM). JOSAC specializes in airlift within the continental United States. JOSAC schedules aircraft assigned to the U.S. Air Force, Air National Guard and Reserve, Army National Guard and Army Reserves and the U.S. Marines.

JOSAC is located at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois. JOSAC was stood up in July 1996 to efficiently schedule to Operational Support Airlift assets of the Air Force, Navy, Marines and Army. Presently there are 80 units in the USA that provide aircraft for JOSAC, providing a fleet of approximately 130 aircraft. Aircraft utilized include the C-21A, C-12, C-26, UC-35, C-20, and C-40.[citation needed]
