Welcome to Fairchild AFB! Your New Duty Station Guide

Welcome to Fairchild Air Force Base, home to the 92nd Air Refueling Wing. Located in eastern Washington near Spokane, the base hosts Team Fairchild, comprising the 141st Air Refueling Wing, the 336th Training Group, the Armed Forces Reserve Center, and other tenant organizations. Fairchild Air Force Base controls 6,151 acres and 1,687 buildings to support 11,868 active duty service members, Air National Guard, tenant unit members, dependents, and civilian employees. Surrounded by Airway Heights, Medical Lake, and Cheney, you will find great community support both on and off base. If you're just arriving on orders, enter through any one of many gates and check in with your command, unit, and or sponsor. If you have civilian visitors coming to see you, they will need to stop at the Visitor Control Center at the main gate to register for their unaccompanied passes. Off duty, you'll have plenty to do without leaving base. You'll find favorites like a game of bowling, outdoor recreation, an indoor fun center, and more. Spokane offers ample recreational activities just outside the gates with restaurants, museums, nightclubs, gardens, and so much more. Looking to get outside? Riverside State Park and the Riverfront Park are a few local gems. Fairchild Air Force Base has many resources available, so take advantage and enjoy your time at your new duty station.
