Although it is a USAF officer accession and training program, the [[United States Air Force Academy]] (USAFA) does not fall under the air University. This was also true of [[Air National Guard]]'s since-disestablished [[Academy of Military Science (United States)|Academy of Military Science]], which has now been merged into OTS at Maxwell AFB. The U.S. Air Force Academy is a [[Direct Reporting Unit]] (DRU), and the superintendent of the USAF Academy reports directly to the Chief of Staff of the Air Force. Admission to and administration of the ANG Academy of Military Science was controlled by the director of the Air National Guard via the [[National Guard Bureau]] (NGB). The director of the Air National Guard and the NGB still control input of prospective direct accession ANG officers via OTS. | Although it is a USAF officer accession and training program, the [[United States Air Force Academy]] (USAFA) does not fall under the air University.
