“Since the U.S. Air Force Warfare Center (USAFWC) is a Numbered Air Force equivalent and serves as the higher headquarters for our wings, the website’s branding was updated to better reflect that command structure. Nellis Air Force Base itself, along with the wings and day-to-day mission, remains the same.” Source: A statement from an Air Force media representative explaining how Nellis Air Force Base, located in the northeast Las Vegas valley, is undergoing a rebrand to the U.S. Air Force Warfare Center. However, the base’s long-standing name and legacy remain tied to Lt. William Harrell Nellis.
