Creech AFB

Creech AFB's primary mission is the employment of Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) for persistent attach and reconnaissance operations globally, supporting various combatant commands. As the main base for the 432d Wing, it provides real-time intelligence, surveillance, and precision strikes via MQ-9 Reaper aircraft, while also offering initial qualification training for RPA aircrew and maintenance personnel. The base functions as a central hub for RPA tactics development, combat command, and control, playing a crucial role in Air Force's global mission against threats to the nation and its allies.

Creech AFB and the Las Vegas Valley are great places to work and live. This area has some of the best entertainment and recreation in the world including fishing, water sports, and mountains which are only a short drive away.

Social Media

Social media is a valuable tool for telling our Airmen's stories, and for staying connected with family and friends. However, social media can also present operation security (OPSEC) risks and challenges. Be mindful that due to Creech's sensitive mission, specifics about Creech AFB assignments, and any installation activities should not be posted on social media.

Defense Service Network Dialing Instructions

In order to place a call using DSN, the caller must be using a military phone on an installation. Cell phones cannot dial DSN numbers. When dialing a DSN number from a United States installation to another United States installation, it is unnecessary to dial the DSN 312 area code. When dialing a DSN number to/from overseas locations, the DSN area code must be included.
