Desert Lightning News Nellis-Creech AFB – Digital and Print Publication Serving Nellis AFB, Creech AFB, Las Vegas NV and surrounding communities. An AerotechNews.com Publication. – April 30, 2021
Hello everyone, and thanks for checking out the April 30th issue of Nellis AFB / Creech AFB Desert Lightning News! Nellis and Creech leadership continued their long tradition of honoring Native American ties to the Nevada Test and Training Range, by joining tribal representatives in a cultural excursion to Pintwater Cave in late March. Nellis AFB initiated its Native American Program 25 years ago to increase the understanding between base leadership and culturally affiliated tribes. Within Nevada and the surrounding states of California, Utah and Arizona, many tribes maintain strong cultural ties to the NTTR, a 2.9 million-acre area used for Department of Defense training and research.
