52 FW 2-Hour delayed reporting authorized for non-mission essential personnel - Sunday, January 11, 2026

Due to forecasted weather and road conditions the Installation Commander has authorized a reporting delay for NON-MISSION ESSENTIAL personnel assigned to Spangdahlem Air Base. Non-mission essential personnel should delay reporting to their duty stations 2 HOURS LATER on Monday, 12 January 2026 to allow base snow removal crews time to clear roads and parking lots with minimal obstructions for maximum safety.

DoDEA school bus pick-ups will occur exactly two hours later than their normal scheduled times.

Weather safety conditions may vary widely across the commuting area, individuals should make personal safety decisions and coordinate with their supervisors if their local weather conditions do not permit safe travel.

Installation leadership will continue to monitor the weather conditions and will provide updates if changes occur. Updates will be posted on the Air Force Connect App and Spangdahlem Air Base Facebook page and AFN channel

ROADCON Meanings

ROADCON Colors and What They Mean

ROADCON GREEN: Normal driving for all vehicles. Operations will continue as normal and all base services are open. Personnel will report as normal. This will account for driving conditions for the vast majority of the calendar year. This is not to discount potential hazards drivers may still encounter – oil spills, inattentive driving, wildlife, construction, etc. – and drivers are still advised to exercise caution on the roads. 

ROADCON AMBER: Roads are moderately hazardous and drivers must exercise caution. Operations will continue as normal and base services are open. Delays must be coordinated with supervisors.
Most on-base services will be open and on time during ROADCON AMBER. However, services like the bowling center, Music Video Express, outdoor recreation, community center, pet lodge and Installation, Tickets and Travel may experience delays. In all circumstances, mission-essential base services like lodging and the dining facility will be on time and open but may be subject to limited manning or services. 

ROADCON RED: Roads are very hazardous and drivers must exercise extreme caution. Delays must be coordinated with supervisors and personnel should report to duty only when safe to do so. ROADCON RED may be delayed in accordance with the wing commander’s decision for a two-hour delay or a decision for work mission-essential personnel only or a potential early release. 

ROADCON BLACK: Roads are extremely dangerous and drivers should not be on the roads. Operations are canceled and base services are closed during this road condition.
