MEMORANDUM FOR EARECKSON AIR STATION USERS

FROM: 611th Air Support Squadron

10471 20th Street, Suite 220

Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson AK 99506-2101

SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2026 Eareckson Air Station Base Support Letter

1. This memorandum provides information to assist project managers and travelers planning projects and travel to Eareckson Air Station (EAS).

2. Personnel responsible for scheduling travel to/from EAS shall fill out and submit a Site Arrival Request (SAR). The SAR process ensures all persons traveling to or through EAS are favorably vetted by PRSC’s Security Office prior to departing for EAS. Please ensure the document is correct and has all required information, on both sheets, before submitting.

a. SARs shall be submitted to the PRSC a minimum of 14 days prior to travel at

611ASUS.EAS@us.af.mil. Do not send SAR paperwork or questions to any individual without including the SAR Org Box. Ensure SAR approval has been received prior to booking transportation to EAS. Requests for a current version of the SAR can be sent to the same inbox.

The traveler will be required to provide either Travel Orders (for DoD travelers) or a Letter of

Authorization (LOA) (signed by their Contracting Officer for contract employees) to

611ASUS.EAS@us.af.mil a minimum of 5 days prior to travel. The SAR process covers flight reservations to/from EAS, lodging reservations, and dining facility reservations.

b. Access to the Modernized Enterprise Terminal (MET) and Power Plant restricted areas is requested via the SAR. If the SAR does not reflect these requests, access to restricted areas will be denied. Access to Cobra Dane and In-Flight Interceptor Communications System

(IFICS) Data Terminal (IDT) is requested via the appropriate security manager for those facilities.

c. Ensure all on-site resource support coordination is completed through the Det 2 office either via the org box at PRSC.PRSCDET2.CommandSection@us.af.mil or 907-392-3140.

Support requests must be coordinated at least 7 days prior to arrival, no exceptions. This includes vehicles, fuel, contractor support, etc. There are extreme resource constraints on EAS and without prior coordination there is no guarantee of support.

d. SAR approval does not indicate vehicle support availability. BOS Contractor does not rent passenger vehicles. Det 2 may be able to provide vehicles, subject to availability, based on vehicle use for the Air Force mission support requirements at EAS. Vehicles are a limited commodity on EAS and, if available, are issued on a prioritization and a first-come first-served basis. Vehicle support must be coordinated with Det 2 at least 30 days prior to arrival. There is a bus that provides transportation between the airfield and the billeting office in Bldg 600 when the regularly scheduled passenger aircraft is scheduled to arrive or depart.

e. No still or video photography is allowed without prior consent of the Program mailto:611ASUS.EAS@us.af.mil.

mailto:611ASUS.EAS@us.af.mil

Management Office (PMO). Cell phones, to include government issued, cannot be used for photography anywhere on EAS. All requests and justification for official photography must be detailed in the SAR, to include the device make, model, and serial number. All photographs are required to be treated as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) with the requiring government agency responsible for maintaining control of the images. If photography is authorized, photos may not include critical assets, security measures, airfield, or airfield operations. Photos must be reviewed and approved by PRSC Detachment 2 Commander on EAS prior to removal from EAS.

3. EAS Airfield use is restricted. A completed and approved SAR, and a Prior Permission Request (PPR) are required to land at EAS. EAS’s airfield operating hours are Monday through Friday, from 0800L until 1700L (1700Z-0200Z). The airfield is closed on Saturday, Sunday, and federal holidays.

a. There is a Servicing Fee for non-PRSC aircraft that land on EAS of $3,877.47. All aircraft that land and/or take-off outside of normal airfield hours will be charged for airfield overtime (OT) expenditures. OT charges start at approximately $90 per hour, per person performing support services, covering the cost of incremental airfield management, aircraft servicing, and fire emergency services. The Aircraft Servicing Fee and overtime rate are subject to change, and it is the customer’s responsibility to verify the rate and estimated number of overtime hours prior to services rendered. Overtime will be charged for actual time spent supporting the entire aircraft evolution, to include time for airfield personnel to prepare for and/or recover from aircraft arrival/departure as well as any customer transportation and/or billeting assistance.

b. EAS is a Government owned, contractor operated installation. Aircraft arrivals and departures, regardless of agency, require contracted service support and agencies are responsible to provide reimbursement for the cost of that support. Hence, reimbursement for service fees and overtime are billed and collected via Military Interdepartmental Purchase Request (MIPR) or other funding documents by PRSC/611 CES Resource Advisors: 611CES.CEI.Finance@us.af.mil. The contractor does not have the means to collect service fees at EAS via credit card.

c. For commercial aircraft, the air carrier must have a current Civil Aircraft Landing Permit

(CALP) on file with the 611 ASUS Airfield Manager, TSgt Sanchez, at henry.sanchez.6@us.af.mil. CALPs must be submitted a minimum of 21 days prior to flight.

d. For both commercial and military aircraft, contact must be made by flight POCs no later than (NLT) one working day prior to scheduled landing during normal working hours (Mon-Fri

0800-1700 (AKST) to request a PPR number from the site airfield manager so that landing can be authorized IAW FAA flight regulations. For safety, aircraft are restricted to land only during normal working hours except for In-Flight Emergency landings. The pilot should verify airfield requirements in the Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) Supplement and review AFI 10-1001 in its entirety prior to departing for EAS. Note that while PPRs may be issued, the customer is responsible for all costs incurred.

e. Personal and contractor owned drones are strictly prohibited. Military drones need to be coordinated with the 611 ASUS Airfield Manager, TSgt Sanchez, at henry.sanchez.6@us.af.mil.

4. All Project Managers (or equivalent) that anticipate six (6) or more personnel travelling to EAS shall submit a personnel flow chart identifying anticipated arrival and departure of personnel at EAS for the duration of the contract/project. Please provide this within 45 days of contract award to the EAS Program

Management Office (PMO) and Det 2 Commander (CC) to ensure the proper billeting, resources, and other support can be provided.

5. A passenger aircraft travels between Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) and EAS on a routine basis.

a. All third-party contractors are required to present the operation and maintenance BOS

Contractor Environmental Office with a list of chemicals being brought to EAS prior to arrival.

Third-Party Contractors will be required to manage waste streams IAW this Hazardous Waste

Management Plan (HWMP) and any other applicable AF regulations. DOD contracted personnel are responsible for the management of their hazardous materials and wastes. The

BOS station manager maintains a list of chemicals and Safety Data Sheets (SDSs).

b. All Hazardous Waste (HW) generated at EAS is viewed by the Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA) as co-generated waste. This means that the regulations for proper handling, storage, transportation, and disposal of any HW apply to both the contractor and the

USAF as the waste was generated as a direct result of an EAS project. As such, EAS can issue containers for, and manage HW, nonhazardous waste, and Universal Waste (UW) generated by contractors when ALL the following apply:

i. There are no fiscal limitations (such as when a project is funded to include waste management and disposal).

ii. There is no conflict with an applicable contract.

iii. The contractor request support from the 611 CES/CEIE Hazardous Waste Program

Manager (HWPM) 30-days prior to the start of the project.

iv. The BOS Contracting Officer Representative agrees that the work is within scope of the BOS contract.

v. The contractor complies with the HWMP and obtains approval for all hazardous material transported to EAS 30-days prior to bringing material to any site, or the contractor complies with all applicable requirements.

vi. If a contractor does not fulfill all the above requirements, the contractor will be solely responsible for paying for, and providing containers, labels, and waste transportation, treatment, storage, and disposal. Copies of all manifests that the contractor generates to ship any waste (hazardous, nonhazardous, or universal waste) must be provided to the

HWPM within three days prior to shipping. If EAS issues containers for, or manages waste generated or handled by a contractor, and a contractor does not fully comply with the Hazardous Material Management Plan (HMMP), the HWPM will notify the applicable contracting officer and the contractor's representative that signed the contract and will stop providing support for waste handling, management, or disposal.

11. Power and Water - Electrical power and fresh water are available on the island.

12. Office space - Limited office space may be available for visitor use. Offices are not guaranteed to have phone lines. This must be coordinated by the sponsoring activity with EAS PMO and the Det 2 Commander prior to contract award and personnel traveling to EAS.

13. Fuel – Available fuel on EAS is either JP-8 or Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel, which is in limited supply.

Fuel is available for purchase on site, with the preferred fuel usage being JP-8. Purchasers must have a valid GSA fuel purchase account. Current fuel price information can be requested from 611 ASUS Fuels

14. Freezer/Refrigerator – Space may be available for ice packs and sample containers on a non-interference basis, advance coordination with the BOS Contractor is required for access.

15. Medical support – Limited medical care is available on EAS. Visitors should ensure that they bring one-month supply of any required medications. Due to the remote location of Shemya Island, the on-site medical and pharmacological resources are limited to minor emergencies / temporary patient stabilization. BOS contractor does not arrange or pay for MEDEVACs. All parties are responsible for having a robust MEDEVAC Plan prior to personnel arriving at EAS. Each sponsoring activity / agency is responsible for arranging, coordinating, and financing MEDEVACs for their own employees, and reimburse BOS contractor for any medications received on the island. Travelers should be sufficiently healthy to not anticipate needing any medical care. By submitting the Site Arrival Request, the traveler is accepting that risk. A MEDEVAC aircraft will be utilized in the event of medical emergency that cannot be treated on EAS.

16. Firearms are strictly prohibited. Failure to comply will result in an immediate removal from the island at the violator’s expense. EXCEPTION: military personnel with the appropriate paperwork fulfilling mission requirements.

17. Cell phones/Internet - There is no cell phone service available at EAS. Phone lines are provided in some offices and lodging rooms. Limited commercial internet may be available for purchase upon arrival.

a. Commercial Satellite Terminal Policy – Both short and long-term satellite terminals (such as Starlink, must strictly follow PRSC CC Policy and be approved in writing by the Det 2 prior to use. For more information and to initiate the request, please contact Det 2 org box at

PRSC.PRSCDET2.CommandSection@us.af.mil.

i. All satellite terminals at PRSC sites must be coordinated with the 11 AF Spectrum

18. All base support referenced in this memorandum is available on a non-interference basis. Due to the remoteness and unique situation at EAS, base support availability is subject to change at any time without notice. Visitors must request any support they require far enough in advance to accommodate the significant lead times necessitated by EAS logistics, and depending on the requirement this could mean

8+ months in advance.

19. EAS is an extremely remote location, with frequent inclement weather that precludes air support.

mailto:611asus.pol.1@us.af.mil

There are times when flights are weathered out of EAS and cannot be accessed for multiple weeks at a time, which includes food, supplies, cargo, equipment, and mail delivery. Government agencies and contractor companies must take into account any personal requirements of their employees before recommending travel to EAS as there are very limited capabilities to accommodate individual needs.

EAS is a harsh environment, facilities were built in the 1950s and 1960s, and weather conditions can reach the point where all outdoor activities are curtailed, and the island is on lockdown. Personnel on or travelling to EAS need to be physically and mentally capable of operating in such an environment.

PRSC reserves the right to deny access to EAS for personnel and/or remove personnel from EAS to ensure good order and discipline is maintained.

20. For any reimbursement inquiries regarding lodging, subsistence, aircraft landing fees, fuel, etc., please contact the PRSC/611 CES Resource Advisor personnel at 611CES.CEI.Finance@us.af.mil or by phone at 907-552-5252.

21. This memo supersedes all previous Eareckson Air Station Base Support Letters.

22. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the PRSC EAS Program Management Office, office: 907-552-5107; mobile: 907-201-3356. Please include the EAS PM, Mr. Maxim Zirnov

(maxim.zirnov@us.af.mil), and the ISS2 PM, Capt. Richard Peterson (richard.peterson.21@us.af.mil) on all email inquiries.
