After more than a year of construction, Sheppard's front gate is now open. The funding for this project came from a partnership between federal, state, and local governments and is the only military construction project to share funds this way potentially paving the way for the way MilCon is done Air Force-wide. The new gate features improved force protection measures, a T-38 jet, and a pedestrian walkway.
Public Health officials here notified Sheppard AFB leadership of the installation’s first confirmed case of Coronavirus, or COVID-19. The first case is travel related and involves a member of the 80th Flying Training Wing, home to the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training program.
