Spangdahlem Air Base is located near the small German town of Spangdahlem. Larger cities nearby include Bitburg, about 20 minutes away; Wittlich, about 20 minutes away; and Trier, about 30 minutes away. Spangdahlem currently includes about 1,282 acres of land (two square miles), a 10,000-foot primary runway, an 8,074-foot secondary runway, and over 500 buildings. The base is now home to approximately 5,000 US active-duty members and 7,000 dependents.

Spangdahlem lies in the southwestern portion of the country in the Rhineland-Palatinate state (Rhineland-Pfalz, in German) - not far from the borders of Belgium, Luxembourg, and France. Although Rhineland-Pfalz is one of the smaller German States, the region also contains more than two-thirds of all the vineyards in the Federal Republic of Germany. The area around Spangdahlem is commonly referred to as "The Eifel".

Germany is a beautiful country, with historic culture, and interesting people. Germany is just smaller than the State of Montana, bordering nine other countries: Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland, Austria, Czech-Republic, Denmark, and Poland. Therefore, an assignment to Spangdahlem presents a wonderful opportunity to travel and experience Europe.
