On 27 March 2026, the MOTORS WebApp used for document upload, review and queuing will go off-line due to a server migration stall. On 30 March 2026, we will transition back to the “2-Meters” web application until further notice (QR Code attached). All Appointments confirmed from 18 March through 16 April on MOTORS have been documented and will be honored. Beginning 19 March, appointments will no longer be accepted on MOTORS. Beginning 27 March, appointment and queue-in capabilities via 2-Meters web app will be open for 30 March and beyond.

Please see below for specific location services and requirements:

-- All customers receiving services at Kapaun Main Station & Ramstein Substation will need to schedule appointments or queue-in via 2-Meters web app.

-- All customers receiving services at the Kapaun Substation will be serviced on a first-come-first-serve basis utilizing the sign in sheet.

We expect longer waiting times due to the loss of our primary service system as our team is unable to verify documents prior to appointments. To help alleviate delays, please follow the QR Code “Transition Flowchart” below. Please be patient with our team as we navigate this situation, and we will continue to do our best to service everyone in the community in a timely manner.

The NATO traffic circle and associated roads will be affected due to construction through spring 2026.

Work will be completed to address fatigue cracking in the asphalt surface.

The project will be completed in three phases.

Phase I: November 2025

Complete

Phase II: 16 - 20 March 2026

Due to active construction on the Kisling-to-Wilson bypass road, this lane will be closed to traffic.

There will be minor impact to west-bound traffic.

Drivers can still use the main NATO traffic circle for access from Kisling Memorial Dr to Wilson Dr.

See Phase II Graphic attached.

PHASE III: 23 March – 24 April 2026

All traffic approaching the NATO traffic circle will be detoured due to active construction and closure of the traffic circle. The previously closed Kisling-to-Wilson bypass road will reopen for use.

West-bound traffic will travel using the Kisling-to-Wilson bypass road on the outside of the traffic circle.

East-bound traffic exiting through the East Gate will use Mitchell Ave and proceed to the Mitchell-to-Kisling bypass road on the outside of the traffic circle.

For accessing NATO and surrounding buildings, please use the entrance and exit route shown in the graphic.

The survey is a Defense Health Agency pilot for fiscal year 2026, with a potential USAFE-wide rollout in fiscal year 2027.

The CSTA captures community perceptions of quality of life and health across physical, emotional, family and social areas.

The KMCC Exchange is giving top marks to military students who ace their academics, celebrating 25 years of the class-act You Made the Grade program.

Military students, including homeschoolers, in first through 12th grades, can bring their report cards to the KMCC customer service area each grading period to receive rewards. Students with straight A’s receive a $20 Exchange gift card, while students with a B average earn a $10 Exchange gift card.

Since 2000, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service has honored military kids’ hard work in the classroom. According to the National Military Family Association, the average military child changes schools nine times before graduating—a challenge their civilian counterparts don’t face.

The safety of our community—especially our families and children—is our top priority. We’ve seen a recent uptick in vehicles exceeding the posted 30 km/hr speed limit in base housing, particularly near Donnelly Park.

Please help us keep Ramstein safe by slowing down and staying aware of your surroundings. Reducing your speed not only prevents vehicle-related incidents but also protects our pedestrians and little ones at play.

Let’s work together to maintain a secure, family-friendly environment we can all be proud to call home. Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to safety!

Hello Community Members,

I hope you're having a good day. I'm reaching out today about the NO DUI Prevention Program, an initiative I created to serve the Kaiserslautern Military Community (KMC) Area. We've already successfully supported two military ball events, and our next event is coming up on Friday, June 27th.

For this upcoming event, we are specifically seeking additional volunteer drivers.

I've attached a flyer with more detailed information on how to join the NO DUI Prevention Program Telegram Group Chat. Please consider volunteering your time and sharing this opportunity with others who might be interested.

You can reach me directly at dustin.d.sellers.mil@army.mil. Once you've joined the Telegram group chat (after your request has been approved), you can also connect with me there.

Here are some important links:

This research study is about regulating mood and sleep with morning light exposure.

The purpose of this Human Research study is to examine whether morning light exposure using

light emitting glasses can improve mood through circadian rhythm realignment. Information

gained from this study will support the relationship between the effects of light exposure on

circadian rhythms and treating the symptoms that result from circadian misalignment. Results from

this study will be used to address the pervasive issue of sleep disruption and circadian

misalignment and potentially improve the quality of life for members of the military. This

information could be generalized to populations that deal with circadian misalignment like night-

shift workers, as well as provide overall insight to other symptoms of low light exposure in the

general population such as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

KMC!

Some good news, POVs shipped through International Auto Logistics (IAL) to the Kaiserslautern VPC do not need to receive temporary plates.

All customers stationed in the KMC who shipped their vehicle(s) through IAL to the Kaiserslautern VPC will be required to bring all documents to the Kapaun Vehicle Registration Main Office to include valid Insurance Confirmation Card.

Kapaun Vehicle Registration will verify the customer meets the documents and insurance liability requirements and direct the customer to IAL. The customer will drive their vehicle directly from IAL to Kapaun POV Inspection. If the vehicle passes inspection, they will receive permanent KL plates; if the vehicle fails it will receive temporary TK plates.

We will begin this process on Monday, March 17, 2025. Customers will be serviced on a walk in first come first serve basis.

If you have any questions, please send us an email to 569USFPS.S5BV.Vehicleregistration@us.af.mil
