Travis AFB

Travis Air Force Base (AFB), located in Fairfield, California, was established in 1942 as Fairfield-Suisun Army Air Base and was later renamed in honor of Brigadier General Robert F. Travis. Originally serving as a major hub for bomber training during World War II, the base shifted focus to become a critical airlift and logistics center during the Cold War and beyond. Home to the 60th Air Mobility Wing, Travis AFB is often referred to as the "Gateway to the Pacific" due to its pivotal role in transporting personnel, cargo, and humanitarian aid across the globe. Throughout its history, units at Travis AFB have supported numerous military operations and disaster relief missions, ensuring rapid global mobility for the United States Air Force.
