F.E. Warren AFB Crashpad — TDY lodging that feels like home
Looking for an F.E. Warren AFB crashpad? Cheyenne, Wyoming is home to the 90th Missile Wing and the first base in the country breaking ground on Sentinel ICBM infrastructure, so TDY orders here are climbing every year. A furnished crashpad at the government rate beats stretching a $110 lodging per diem across a Cheyenne hotel — especially in Frontier Days week.

Why stay in a crashpad near F.E. Warren AFB?
F.E. Warren is the oldest continuously active installation in the Air Force, tracing its roots to Fort D.A. Russell in 1867, and it has no runway at all — the mission lives underground across a 9,600-square-mile missile field. The 90th Missile Wing keeps 150 Minuteman III missiles on alert with three missile squadrons, a security forces group, and UH-1N helicopter crews from the 582nd Helicopter Group, while Twentieth Air Force runs the entire ICBM force from headquarters on base. The Sentinel transition has added a steady flow of program-office staff, Northrop Grumman engineers, and Army Corps of Engineers teams working out of the new Detachment 10 facility, with the Missile Handling Complex and Wing Command Center under construction now. Cheyenne's rental market is tight and often runs above BAH, and the Crow Creek Inn fills fast whenever a nuclear surety inspection or a major exercise lands. A Base Crashpads house gives you a full kitchen, a real bed, and a DTS-ready receipt inside the standard CONUS rate, close enough that Gate 5 is a five-minute drive.
