Lodging provides a private room/private bath to transient air-crew members 0-1 and above accommodations may include a shared kitchen and/or living area). For enlisted transient aircrew members, lodging provides a private room and a private or shared bath. During contingency situations, if lodging cannot provide private rooms to all aircrew members, lodging should maintain separation between different crews.
2.2.8.1. When construction or maintenance in the vicinity of aircrew quarters could interrupt crew rest, lodging managers will not assign aircrew members to buildings in the area.
2.2.8.2. Lodging may assign other TDY personnel to transient aircrew accommodations if other on-base lodging is not available, and when not required for aircrews. When assigning other TDY personnel to aircrew accommodations, advise them of the varied sleeping hours of aircrew members, and ask them to refrain from making any noise or disturbance which could interrupt crew rest.
2.2.8.3. Lodging will maintain aircrew integrity. Lodging will house the entire aircrew either on base or off base. If housed on base, lodging will house them as close together as possible. If lodged off base, lodging will house the aircrew in one commercial establishments.
2.2.8.4. The installation commander or the aircraft commander may waive aircrew lodging requirements on a temporary basis for reasons of military necessity.
2.2.8.5. Transient aircrews may use AF Form 2282, Statement of Adverse Affect--Use of Government acilities, at Army, Navy, or Marine Corps installations when available temporary lodging does not meet Air Force standards for aircrews. When adequate government lodging is available, but does not meet special mission support requirements or crew integrity requirements, or the host installation commander has determined that the requirements cannot be supported, the members may obtain commercial accommodations at their own expense. In these cases, the lodging manager will not issue non-availability numbers.
