The 857th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron hosted “Airman for a Day,” a base tour for foster teens from the Las Vegas area at Nellis Air Force Base, April 3. The event aimed to inspire youth ages 14 to 17 by exposing them to Air Force careers, culture and opportunities while fostering a sense of community and possibility.
Air Combat Command recently hosted Weapons and Tactics Conference 2026 here, an annual, two-week event where Airmen from across the force gather to identify and solve the most pressing tactical challenges.
The conference, more commonly known as WEPTAC, is the Air Force’s premier forum for developing and refining warfighter-driven solutions to ensure the joint and coalition force is ready for a high-end conflict.
