Home to the Naval Strike Air Warfare Center, the Fighting Saints of VFC-13 and the Desert Outlaws of Strike Fighter Weapons Det., these units make up the Navy’s elite advanced aviation tactics programs known as TOPGUN, TOPDOME, HAVOC and SWTI.
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. Every carrier air wing makes its final stop at Fallon for four weeks of combat training prior to deploying on the aircraft carrier, ready to meet the Nation’s tasking. NAS Fallon takes pride in its vital contribution to the nation in training the best aviators in the world.
From its beginnings as a WWII Army Air Corps airstrip in the early 1940’s, 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 life that is enhanced by the numerous facilities on base and by those within the surrounding areas.
