Schriever AFB

Peterson-Schriever Garrison is headquartered at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. The garrison’s mission is to enable USSF and partner mission execution of eight of the nine functional space deltas and more than 80 mission partners across 22 world-wide locations through the provision of integrated USSF and United States Air Force Base. The Peterson-Schriever Garrison mission is to evolve space and cyberspace warfighting superiority through integrated and innovative operations. The other units at Schriever also perform space missions. We are unique in that we have no flight line and no aircraft mission.

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 AFB, a full service base, is only ten miles down the road and offers support functions.

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

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.
