The only support in the Philippine Air Force is the Air Reserve Command, which manages the inactive reservists of the PAF or the Air Force Component of the citizen army. The specific functions cover the registration, management, and assistance of PAF reservists, conduct of assembly and mobilization tests, promotion of national interest in cooperation with civilian entities, reservist utilization in times of calamities and disaster relief operations, management of civil affairs activities, intensification of reserve training, conduct of seminars regarding value formation, and ROTC and CAT training.

Under this Command are various Reserve Air Transport Support Groups (RATSGs) and Air Reserve Wings. In times of war or national mobilization, these reserve groups get conscripted into service and are given their assignments. In this way the Command maintains the reservoir of military talent and labor so essential during national crisis.
