Travis’ reserve wing focal point of multiple-service Nexus Dawn exercise
Almost.
The base’s reserve unit, the 349th Air Mobility Wing, took the lead this week on Nexus Dawn, a three-day exercise Monday through Wednesday that brought together multiple services as well as airmen from five other Air Force bases.
The exercise took place across the western seaboard. The aims were to test and improve the training, equipment and combat readiness of the units, which also included members of the Air National Guard and U.S. Marine Corps.

By CARSON GERBER | Kokomo Tribune | Published: April 11, 2021 GRISSOM AIR RESERVE BASE, Indiana (Tribune News Service) If anyone knows the ins and outs of operating Grissom Air Reserve Base, it s Col. Thomas Pemberton. From 1992 to 2010, his roles at the base ran the gamut, including chief of mission development and tactics, an evaluator navigator for the KC-135 Stratotanker planes and commander of the 434th Operations Support Squadron. I learned about the reserves and about the Air Force here, Pemberton said. I grew up here, and it was kind of a leadership crucible for me. People pushed me outside my comfort zone here and helped me grow.
