NAVCOMMSTA FALLON, NV

NAVCOMMSTA Fallon, Nevada (Naval Communication Station Fallon) was commissioned in the early 1960s to support United States Navy operations by providing secure and reliable communications in the western United States. The station played a critical role during the Cold War, serving as a key link in the Navy’s global communications network, relaying messages to and from ships and commands worldwide. NAVCOMMSTA Fallon supported both fleet operations and naval aviation training at the adjacent Naval Air Station Fallon, home of the Navy’s premier air warfare training programs. The station was decommissioned in the mid-1990s as advances in satellite communications and the consolidation of military communications infrastructure rendered its mission obsolete.
