MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD

SUBJECT: Fort Wainwright Installation Access Restrictions (COVID-19)

1. Trusted Traveler access to Fort Wainwright remains suspended.

2. All individuals seeking access to Fort Wainwright must display a valid form of identification.

Non-DoD contractors, including vendors, are eligible for short term passes commensurate with the duration and criticality of their work on the installation. Short-term passes for contractors and vendors will be processed in accordance with installation access control procedures and Army regulation.

3. All delivery and transport drivers will be considered visitors to the installation and processed lAW paras. 4 and 5 below.

4. Visitors who have been fully immunized may request a visitor pass through the Visitor Center. Visitors should be prepared to provide proof of vaccination upon request. As used throughout this document, “fully immunized” is defined as 2 weeks after the second dose of a two shot series, or 2 weeks after one dose in a single shot series. Any visitor to the installation must also be eligible and cleared for installation access, regardless of their immunization status. Visitors who have not been immunized will not be granted access unless they meet the requirements of para. 5.

5. Visiting family members of a DoD ID card holder may gain access to the installation pursuant to the Installation Access Exception to Policy (IAETP) regardless of their immunization status. Requests for an IAETP may be approved by 0-5 or 0-6 unit commanders for emergency or humanitarian reasons. The authority to grant an IAETP on any other basis is reserved to the undersigned. IAETPs will conform to the attached memorandum format.

6. Upon arrival at Fort Wainwright, all domestic (interstate) travelers who are fully immunized are NOT required to serve a Restriction of Movement (ROM). Domestic travelers who are NOT fully immunized will take a free COVID-19 test upon arrival at the airport or if driving, at the border, observe a HARD ROM in their residence until the results come back negative, and then spend the remainder of the 10 days after return in a soft ROM status. During the soft ROM they may go to work, their residence, pickup food but will not enter on-installation store fronts (PX, Shoppettes, Commissary, Gyms restaurants, etc).

7. International travelers will take a COVID-19 test during the 3 days prior to the departure from the foreign country and 3 to 5 days after completion of travel. Fully immunized travelers are not required to ROM unless directed by Public Health or a Commander. Travelers not fully immunized will ROM for 10 days or 7 days with a negative test within 48 hours prior to the end of the 71h day of ROM.

8. Completion of the mandatory ROM period is a condition of continued access to the installation, including all facilities and services. Violations of the ROM requirement may result in adverse administrative or disciplinary action, including confiscation of installation access passes and a temporary or permanent bar to the installation.

a. Travelers who intend to serve their ROM on post (in the barracks, temporary lodging, or on-post housing), will proceed directly to their ROM location upon arrival at Fort Wainwright. If your ROM location is on the installation, you may not depart during your mandatory ROM period except to obtain food or other essential items through curbside or touchless pickup.

Visitors who intend to reside in on-post housing for greater than 30 days require approval from North Haven Communities.

b. During their ROM period, travelers will observe the conditions identified in para. 6.f(5) of U.S. Army Alaska General Order Relating to Coronavirus 2019, Revision 14, dated 21 May 2021 (GO1). The mandatory ROM applies to all travelers to Fort Wainwright arriving from out of state, including Soldiers, civilian employees, family members, contractors and visitors as a condition of their continued access to the installation. Travelers who are found in public spaces or workplaces in violation of the applicable ROM requirement may be barred from the installation.

c. Supervisors are responsible for ensuring any employee returning from out of state is aware of the ROM requirement and should make appropriate arrangements to accommodate the ROM period. If an employee appears in the workplace in violation of the applicable ROM requirement or without an approved ROM exception to policy, supervisors will direct them to return to their residence. Individuals who elect to disregard their supervisor’s instructions, USARAK command policy, and/or public health guidance may be subject to adverse administrative or disciplinary action.

d. Contracting officers will ensure that any contractors performing work on the installation observe the applicable ROM period, as well as the public health requirements for face coverings (GOl, para. 6.b) and social distancing (GOl, para. 6.a). Contractors who do not observe the public health requirements associated with continued access to the installation and USAG AK facilities will be reported to their Contracting Officer and asked to depart.

e. All residents and visitors to a military installation are expected to do their part to safeguard the population and observe the installation’s public health guidance. Unsafe conduct may result in a temporary or permanent bar to post; loss of installation privileges, including facility access and visitor sponsorship; and/or a misdemeanor citation from law enforcement.

Dependents are expected to follow applicable state and local mandates when off of the military installation.

9. Restriction of Movement (ROM) Exceptions to Policy (ETP). Any Soldier, employee, or contractor who seeks to report directly to the workplace following out of state travel must have an approved ROM ETP. A ROM ETP does not eliminate the ROM requirement entirely; it merely approves a series of less restrictive measures to facilitate mission critical work on the installation.

SUBJECT: Fort Wainwright Installation Restricted Access (COVID-1 9)

a. All requests for exceptions to policy from the mandatory ROM requirement for USAG Alaska Soldiers and DA Civilian Employees must be routed through the undersigned or Deputy Garrison Commander for a recommendation. No requests for exception to policy for USAG Alaska personnel will be submitted directly to the USARAK command group.

b. The undersigned has been delegated authority by the USARAK CG to approve exceptions to policy for contractors engaged in time sensitive, resource constrained, or high profile initiatives on Fort Wainwright. Exceptions to policy for contractors will be forwarded through the USAG AK command group to the Garrison Commander for approval.

c. Commanders may recommend exceptions to policy to permit Soldiers to engage in mission essential functions under less restrictive measures. Civilian employees may request a similar exception to policy recommendation from an 0-6 Commander, Deputy Garrison Commander, or Chief of Staff.

d. Soldiers, civilian employees, and contractors are expected to have a copy of their approved exception to policy whenever they are outside of their residence or designated ROM location.

10. Any individual seeking access to the installation for medical treatment associated with COVID-19 symptoms (fever, dry cough, or respiratory distress) will identify themselves to security personnel and pre-coordinate their arrival with Basset Army Community Hospital at 361-5144.

11. This policy remains in effect until superseded or rescinded.
