As the state of Florida begins a 27-day shelter-in-place order tonight at midnight in an effort to minimize spread of the COVID-19 virus, Hurlburt Field will be 100% in sync with Governor Ron DeSantis’s Executive Order. Pursuant to Hurlburt Field’s Restriction of Movement order that went into effect Mar. 31, 2020, access to the base will remain restricted to mission essential personnel only and those individuals residing on, TDY to, or conducting official business on base.
“My priorities have not changed,” said Col. Mike Conley, 1st Special Operations Wing Commander. “We will do our mission and protect our Airmen and their families. The measures already in place to limit
installation access to mission essential personnel and those needing access to essential services will not change. Essential services that are open will remain open.”
Active duty (Title 10 status), civilian and contract employees who have been designated by their unit leadership as essential to maintaining their respective function in support of the mission have received documentation which must be presented upon entry to the base.
“We remain a combat wing that is actively engaged in combat operations; we will continue to do our jobs,” said Col. Conley. “Those already designated as mission essential will continue to conduct our business.”
If not designated in a mission essential status, access to Hurlburt Field will be restricted to individuals who reside in housing on Hurlburt Field, on TDY status to Hurlburt Field, or individuals conducting official business on the installation. Only mission essential personnel, military members on active duty (Title 10 status) and their dependents, individuals residing in housing on Hurlburt Field, and individuals on TDY status to Hurlburt Field are authorized to shop at the Commissary, the Base Exchange, or the Shoppette; these groups may also conduct other official business.
All other individuals with base access are limited to conducting the following official business activities: conducting postal services, receiving medical or mental health care, visiting the pharmacy, obtaining medical
supplies, receiving child care services, providing essential services or supplies to an individual on base (e.g., delivering food or consumer products to quarantined persons or persons unable to obtain these essential supplies and services), utilizing the auto-hobby shop, contacting military law enforcement, and conducting banking transactions.
“Everyone's focus should be on limiting unnecessary movements and social interactions; we need to do our part,” said Col Conley. “If you don't absolutely need to be on Hurlburt Field, I respectfully request that you
not come to the base. This is temporary; we'll be back to normal as soon as it makes sense.”
This order is applicable to military members of the Regular Air Force, Air Force Reserve, and Air National Guard, civil servants in the Department of the Air Force, dependents of military members or civil servants, and contractors on Hurlburt Field. Observance of these restrictions on movement are mandatory.
