Our Mission:
To provide the most realistic integrated air warfare training support available to carrier air wings, tenant commands and individual units participating in training events, including joint and multinational exercises, while remaining committed to its assigned personnel. In support of these critical training and personnel requirements, NAS Fallon continually upgrades and maintains the Fallon range complex, the airfield, aviation support facilities and base living/recreation accommodations, ensuring deployed unit training and a local quality of life second to none.

Welcome to Naval Air Station Fallon, in Fallon Nevada. Home to the Fighting Saints of VFC-13, the Desert Outlaws of Strike Fighter Weapons Det., and the Naval Strike Air Warfare Center, NAS Fallon serves as the Navy's premier tactical air warfare training center.

Known throughout the Navy as the only facility in existence where an entire carrier air wing can conduct comprehensive training while integrating every element of the wing into realistic battle scenarios.

Fallon enjoys more than 300 clear flying days per year and gets the most out of each of those days with its four bombing ranges, the electronic warfare range and all of its other excellent training facilities. The 14,000-foot runway remains the longest in the Navy, making Fallon a one-stop training facility unequaled throughout the service.

From its beginnings as a WWII Army Air Corps airstrip in the early 1940s, Fallon has served many different missions throughout the years. Originally designed as a primary base to launch missions against a Japanese strike against the West coast, the air station has evolved into a versatile, comprehensive training facility known to aviators around the world as the pinnacle of air warfare training.

Over 3,000 active duty personnel, civilian employees and DoD contractors enjoy a high quality of life that is enhanced by the numerous facilities on base and by those within the surrounding areas. Beautiful housing, convenient shopping and exciting recreational facilities provide a comfortable life on the base and the natural beauty of the Northern Nevada high desert as well as the exhilarating attractions of nearby Reno present a wide variety of recreational and sight-seeing options for residents of NAS Fallon.

Although relatively isolated, NAS Fallon is only a short drive from some of the finest outdoor recreation areas in the country. If you like to fish, hunt, boat, hike, camp, ride off-road vehicles or ski, the area surrounding Fallon is the place to do it. But that's not all there is to do here-check out the ghost towns, historical sites and old mines to hear of Nevada's Old West past. There's all of this in addition to big city excitement, too. There's Carson City, Nevada's state capitol, and Reno with its 24-hour entertainment. Both are only an hour away from Fallon.
