Travis’ reserve wing focal point of multiple-service Nexus Dawn exercise
Almost.
The base’s reserve unit, the 349th Air Mobility Wing, took the lead this week on Nexus Dawn, a three-day exercise Monday through Wednesday that brought together multiple services as well as airmen from five other Air Force bases.
The exercise took place across the western seaboard. The aims were to test and improve the training, equipment and combat readiness of the units, which also included members of the Air National Guard and U.S. Marine Corps.
