Nevada Air Force Bases
  Creech AFB Indian Springs    
   Creech Air Force Base, known as Indian Springs Air Force  Auxiliary Field until 2005, is home to the unmanned Predator missions  conducted regularly in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan. But before its  role in the War on Terror, Creech, like all military bases constructed  during the ’40s played a vital role in WWII. The base itself is renamed  in honor of General Creech who reshaped the way in which the Air Force  operated during his time in the Military. He died August 26, 2003. The  99th Range Squadron commands the base and the 11th and 15th  Reconnaissance Squadron man the Predator system. A system introduced to  reduce the costs of persistent surveillance without directly risking any  soldiers.
