Fairfield highlight
Travis Air Force Base
A major U.S. Air Force installation and the home of Air Mobility Command's 60th Air Mobility Wing, located three miles east of Fairfield.
Travis Air Force Base operates as one of the Air Force's largest air mobility hubs, housing aircraft that move cargo and personnel across the Pacific and globally. The base is home to the 60th Air Mobility Wing, whose mission centers on rapid airlift and refueling capabilities. Military families assigned to Travis make up a significant part of Fairfield's population, and the base itself is the region's largest employer, generating substantial economic activity across Solano County.
The base operates 24-hour flight operations and serves as a strategic gateway for military operations. Personnel and their families at Travis represent a diverse range of roles, from pilots and flight crews to medical professionals, engineers and support staff. The base hospital provides medical care to active-duty personnel and their families, and the Heritage Center on base offers visitors a look at military aviation history.
For military families stationed at Travis, planning ahead means accounting for career transitions, deployments and the possibility of permanent change of station. Term life insurance provides a financial safety net that remains constant through those changes, protecting the family members who depend on an active-duty income and ensuring that whatever comes next, the transition does not carry financial uncertainty.
