Defense Service Network Dialing Instructions
The DSN is the provider of long-distance communications service for the Department of Defense. Every installation has a special DSN number, and the numbers vary by world-wide location. To place a call using DSN, the caller must be using a military phone on an installation. Cell phones cannot dial DSN numbers. When dialing a DSN number from a United States installation to another United States installation, it is not necessary to dial the DSN 312 area code. When dialing a DSN number to/from overseas locations, the DSN 314 area code must be included.

Welcome to the 704th Munitions Maintenance Squadron (704 MUNSS). Ghedi AB is an Italian installation situated in the plains of the Lombardia Region in north-west Italy. Ghedi AB is located just outside the towns of Ghedi, Castenedolo, and Montichiari. Ghedi AB is located on the north end of the Po River valley, which is the agricultural heartland of Italy. The Italian Alps are approximately 20km to the north and on a clear day, are highly visible from the base. The area has small industries and rolling farmland.
