During their visit, they met with base leaders and toured different facilities across the installation to see how Nellis AFB – home to the largest and most demanding advanced air combat training mission in the world – provides training for composite strike forces, which includes every type of aircraft in the Air Force inventory.
“The Nellis enterprise is one of the only locations in the world where we can conduct test, tactics development and advanced training at the level our joint and partner warfighting team require to ensure success in conflict against great power competitors,” Brown said. “As we accelerate change, we’re reviewing modernization efforts that will maximize the enterprise’s future warfighting capabilities.”
