Valais Air Force Base
- home of the 66th AFU Galm & 4th AFU Crow

Geography
Valais Air Base is the final Ustian Air Base in service on their front line as of early 1995, built around the hinterland of Tyrann Mountains. During peacetime, its main tasks were routine border patrol and airspace surveillance. Constructed among mountainous terrace, pilot landing at this base requires excellent skill and technology. Several hangars are established here, in peculiar topography following the mountain surface. Known as "Alert Hangar" during standby status, the design of the hangar helps pilots of immediate scramble to take off quickly. All the hangars are built really close to the runway.

Here the mercenaries from different countries operate from the Mountains and attack all Belkan Forces which advance into Ustio. The 66th AFU Galm is stationed here, along with the 4th AFU Crow and AWACS Eagle Eye.
