Welcome to the American Society of Military Comptrollers Las Vegas Chapter website. This site went live 1-DEC-2011, so we’re still in the process of adding on.

Headquartered at Nellis Air Force Base, the busiest, most diverse and definitely one of the largest Air Force Bases in the world. At Nellis we have not one but five wings. It’s the base that the Thunderbirds, the Weapons School and Red Flag call home. It’s the base seen and mentioned in many movies and TV shows, including “Source Code,” “Super 8″ and “Transformers” and the video games “Jane’s USAF” and “Fallout: New Vegas.”

Nearly a half a million flights are conducted at Nellis annually.

So, with all that going on, Nellis is a very visible very well-known air force base. With our sister base, Creech, located just up north spearheading the fight in Afghanistan and Iraq from their Predator and Reaper drones Las Vegas Chapter is a bustling, thriving community located just 7 miles away from one of the top tourist destinations in the world.

This site will try to reflect what Nellis AFB and the LV Chapter, which is 73 members strong and growing, is up to..

Members please register to become a contributor to this site. As a contributor you can post articles, pictures and other information.

LV Chapter President

Dr. Jamie Morin at Stimson Video

On 16-MAR-2012 Stimson welcomed Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Financial Management Jamie Morin to discuss how the Air Force’s proposed budget reflects the new defense strategy laid out by the President last month. Even as our fiscal crisis and the Budget Control Act lay greater constraints on defense spending, the Defense Department must respond to the world we live in. The President has laid out a strategy to achieve both goals, which suggests a greater reliance on the US Air Force.

As Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Hale also oversees the Department’s financial policy, financial management systems, and business modernization efforts. This forum will be held in Pentagon Auditorium, Room BH650, as well as through a live DCO webcast for all who are unable to attend in person.
