Thousands of people visit Nellis each year because of the variety of missions that may be found here. Touring Nellis' different units are a great way to learn our mission and learn the different jobs we do here at Nellis. Tours may be an excellent educational tool for groups interested in learning more about the United States Air Force. We welcome you to take a glimpse of life behind the gates.
