Air Service Command, Mediterranean Theater of Operations was a United States Army Air Forces logistics formation. It had its headquarters and an HQ squadron at Naples, Italy.  It was originally XII Air Force Service Command, part of Twelfth Air Force, but after 1 January 1944 became AAF Service Command, Mediterranean Theater of Operations. The command was assigned directly to Army Air Forces, Mediterranean Theater of Operations, and controlled the air depots and air sub depots in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations. 
 
It provided theater logistics at the end of the war (a detachment was at Foggia, Italy), and subordinate units included the 302nd Depot Repair Squadron.
