Freddy Fudpucker -> US acronyms (7/1/2006 2:23:05 PM)

Hi guys,

I was taking a look at the US civil war scenerio and was intriuged by the amount of acronyms used along with placenames. Anyone care to enlighten me on what any of the following stand for?

AFLC
AFB
ATF
AFRES
AFLC
TAC
ATC
SAC
AU
AAF
NAS
MAC

Thanks in advance for your help.
