It's getting cold...when can I plug in my car????

Gas Operated Vehicles may be plugged in when temperatures fall below (or predicted to fall below), negative 10 degrees Fahrenheit (F) during the current reporting period.

Diesel Operated Vehicles my be plugged in at positive 15 degrees F or colder.
Reporting periods are 0700-1200, 1200-1700, and 1700-0700.


If the temperature rises above the allowable limit during a reporting period, a plugged-in vehicle will not be considered in violation.

Temperature information may be obtained by calling the base weather recording at 377-6127.

Enforcement of this will be carried out by Security Forces at the direction of the Mission Support Group Commander for base housing areas, and by the facility managers for their respective buildings.

Offenders will be referred to their squadron commander/first sergeant (or immediate supervisor for civilians) for properly documented counseling.
