Schriever SFB

Headquartered at Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado, Space Base Delta 1 falls under the direction of Space Operations Command for its day-to-day operational missions, while it receives higher headquarters support for its base operations missions from Air Force Materiel Command as the Air Force Servicing major command. The SBD 1 team enables a wide range of missions executed from its power projection platform installations in direct support of national security, space operations, and homeland defense.

SBD 1 enables U.S. Space Force operations for eight of the nine USSF space deltas and more than 100 other mission partners across 23 world-wide locations including NORAD & U.S. Northern Command; U.S. Space Command; Army Space & Missile Defense Command; Space Operations Command and Space Training and Readiness Command and their operational deltas world-wide; Joint Task Force-Space Defense; Air Force Reserve Command’s 302d Airlift Wing and 310th Space Wing; and shared runway operations with the Colorado Springs Airport.

Though Schriever is a growing base, some of the services that are normally provided at most Air Force bases are currently not available on Schriever. However, Peterson SFB, a full service base, is only ten miles down the road and offers support functions.

The Schriever SFB commercial prefix is 567, and the DSN prefix is 560. The Colorado Springs area code is 719.

Environmental Considerations

• Schriever SFB is located about 10 miles east from the edge of the city of Colorado Springs. Highway 94 is the main road out to Schriever. At certain times of the year during the morning commuting hours, the sunrise is directly on the horizon over the road. Visibility becomes very difficult during these times. Drive with care on and around Schriever.
•  In the Fall/Winter/Spring months, Schriever periodically experiences extreme winter weather that at times results in delayed reporting or “mission essential only” reporting. Be attentive to local news stations for weather and road conditions. Also, Space Base Delta 1 has a Snow Call Line, 719-556-7669 (SNOW), that gives reporting information and it has a Facebook page that posts snow call procedures during inclement weather.
• In the Spring and Summer months, area thunderstorms produce damaging hail and winds. Be weather aware in order to keep you and your belongings safe.

Defense Service Network (DSN) Dialing Instructions

The DSN is the provider of long-distance communications service for the Department of Defense (DoD). Every installation has a special DSN number and the numbers vary by world-wide location. In order 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 unnecessary to dial the DSN 312 area code. When dialing a DSN number to/from overseas locations, the DSN area code must be included.
