Location

Alamogordo, United States

Holloman Air Force Base is a United States Air Force installation located adjacent to Alamogordo, New Mexico, in the Tularosa Basin. It operates under Air Combat Command and serves as a major hub for aerial test and evaluation as well as advanced pilot training, particularly for remotely piloted aircraft. The base is home to the 49th Wing, which conducts F-16 training for allied and partner nations, and hosts MQ-9 Reaper remotely piloted aircraft operations. Its proximity to White Sands Missile Range and the vast airspace over the Tularosa Basin makes it strategically valuable for flight testing and training. Holloman has a long history tied to aerospace experimentation, including early supersonic and rocket sled testing programs conducted by Colonel John Stapp in the 1950s. The base is not a commercial airport and does not serve civilian passenger traffic.
