Mountain Home AFB

Mountain Home, Idaho, United States

Mountain Home Air Force Base sits twelve miles southwest of the city of Mountain Home in southern Idaho. Air Mobility Command lists it as a Non-AMC CONUS location. The 366th Fighter Wing of Air Combat Command flies F-15E Strike Eagles and hosts Republic of Singapore Air Force F-15SG aircraft. Official pages identify a passenger terminal for Space-A flights at this high-desert fighter field, not an AMC gateway.

Terminal FAQ

Last verified 27 August 2026. Hours, fees, and presence rules change. Confirm with this terminal’s official page before you travel. Pop’s is unofficial.

Where is the passenger terminal?

Not published. No AMC `/Terminals/` page, no mountainhome.af.mil PAX SOP, and the live AMC row does not name a passenger-terminal building or street.

The Phone Directory lists Passenger (PAX) Terminal / Space A as a phone-book line only. GPS a generic “Mountain Home AFB” pin is not a terminal pin. No official terminal-map URL. Unofficial “ask at Main Gate” listings are flagged unofficial.

How do I get on base / which gate should I use?

There is no PAX-terminal page to print a passenger gate. From official mountainhome.af.mil Visitor’s Control Center (search-indexed 27 Aug 2026; direct fetch 403):

  • Main Gate Entry Point — Open 24/7
  • Grand View Gate Entry Point — M–F 7:30 a.m.–4 p.m. For Commercial Vehicles Only

Grand View hours conflict on two official pages — do not silently pick:

| Source | Grand View | |---|---| | Visitor’s Control Center page | M–F 7:30 a.m.–4 p.m., commercial only | | Current Reporting Status page | Open 6 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Mon. to Fri., commercial vehicles only |

Main Gate is 24 hours / 7 days on both of those pages.

VCC: Building #5400, Mountain Home AFB, ID. Duty hours M–F 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (0730–1630). Contractor passes/badges are not issued after duty hours. Commercial traffic is sent to Grandview Gate in the VCC text.

VCC / after-hours phones — do not silently pick:

| Label | Number | Where printed | |---|---|---| | VCC duty | (208) 828-6022 | Visitor’s Control Center page | | After hours (same VCC block) | (208) 828-2256 | Visitor’s Control Center page | | Security Forces | (208) 828-2256 | SARC / unrestricted-reporting contacts (same subscriber as “after hours”) | | Visitor Center (Quick Links) | (208) 828-2501 | Leaving-Mountain-Home / Quick Links |

After duty hours (1630–0730): if SF Form 30 was not sent in advance, the sponsor must turn in the form in person or call Main Gate (number on that page is truncated in the index as (208) 828-… — not invented here). After-hours passes issued at Main Gate are valid 72 hours only; longer stays must be issued at VCC during duty hours. Telephone sponsorship is not authorized without identity proofing (encrypted .mil email or physically meeting the guest at the gate). A caller-ID phone is not acceptable identity proofing.

Unofficial “Main Gate currently closed / use Grand View 24/7” writeups contradict both official pages — flagged unofficial; not used.

CAC / DoD ID holders use an open vehicle-access gate. VCC hours are not Space-A counter hours.

What are hours, phone, DSN, and email?

Hours: Not published. Homepage-only / Phone Directory with no PAX clock. Gate 24/7 is not the passenger desk. Do not copy unofficial 0800–1600 directories.

Phones — print both; do not pick:

| Label | Number | Where printed | |---|---|---| | AMC Non-AMC CONUS / workbook AMC line | (208) 828-4841 | Live AMC directory 27 Aug 2026 | | Passenger (PAX) Terminal / Space A | (208) 828-2444 · DSN 728-2444 | mountainhome.af.mil Phone Directory (workbook primary) |

DSN on the AMC table: (312) 728-4841. Directory DSN for the PAX line is 728-2444. Do not publish (312) as a commercial number. Dial the 208 commercials. Lodging DSN prefix 728 matches — still not a cell prefix.

Email (AMC directory / workbook): udg_366LRS.LGRDAS_all@us.af.mil

Workbook / APPROVED advisory: unit distro email may not be a public traveler inbox. Recorded, not replaced.

Mountain Home is not on the HQ AMC 40-location Space-A email form.

Do not use Personal Property (208) 828-1466 or TMO as Space-A (Quick Links / directory). Base operator on FIN notes: (208) 828-2111 (operator, not PAX).

How do I sign up for Space-A?

Workbook / AMC directory method is email udg_366LRS.LGRDAS_all@us.af.mil. HQ AMC does not process this location. Print the sent message. Call both published PAX numbers if you need a voice confirmation — do not assume 4841 forwards to 2444.

There is no local field list, QR, or walk-in SOP on official HTML.

How and when do I mark present?

Not published. No official page uses “mark present” or a show-time clock. Remote email is not presence. Do not invent a counter-open time.

When is roll call?

Not published. No roll-call product, PDF, or “N hours prior” line.

When should duty / PE passengers check in?

Not published. No PE check-in clock. This location is not advertised as a Patriot Express gateway.

Does this terminal operate Patriot Express flights? If yes, to where?

Not published as a PE gateway. No 30-day PE icon, no AMC `/Terminals/` page. Do not plan a rotator from Mountain Home from a blog. This FAQ does not quote live seats.

Can I travel with pets from here?

Not published as a PAX pet-slot policy. AF Inns lists pet-friendly rooms — call the desk. See the AMC Pet Travel page. Do not assume a leftover fighter-wing hop will take a pet.

Where are schedules posted?

Not published as a 72-hour page, recording, or official terminal Facebook. Operating model on live AMC is call/email: (208) 828-4841 and directory (208) 828-2444 / udg_366LRS.LGRDAS_all@us.af.mil. Homepage is not a board. Installation social is not a terminal schedule channel. No AMC Gram. This FAQ does not quote live seats.

Is mountainhome.af.mil or the Phone Directory the passenger-terminal page?

No. Homepage fallback. Directory is phone-only (PAX/Space A 828-2444) — no hours, building, or board.

Is the desk (208) 828-4841 or (208) 828-2444?

Conflict. Do not pick. Live AMC 4841. Official Phone Directory Passenger (PAX) Terminal / Space A 2444. Print both.

Will udg_366LRS.LGRDAS_all@us.af.mil actually get my signup?

Workbook flags a unit distro that may not be a public traveler inbox. It is the only mailbox on the live AMC row. Print the sent mail. Do not invent a cleaned personal address.

Why does the workbook say U.S. Space Force?

APPROVED service_branch = U.S. Space Force. Mountain Home is an Air Force / 366 FW base with AF Inns. Conflict recorded; identity not changed. Use AF Inns for lodging.

No. VCC page labels it after hours; SARC page labels the same subscriber Security Forces. PAX numbers are 4841 / 2444.

Quick Links Visitor Center (208) 828-2501?

Different official page. VCC duty line on the VCC page is 828-6022. Print both; do not replace 6022.
