Altus Air Force Base leaders have announced the transition from Health Protection (HPCON) BRAVO to HPCON ALPHA.

The following document supersedes a majority of current policies: 97 AMW COVID-19 Policies and Directives 26 May 2021. The memorandum's attachments can be found under the resources tab on the right.

“Team - Our mission is to Train Exceptional Mobility Airmen and that has not changed. However, your leadership team is also very focused on maintaining our Military Readiness and Ensuring the Safety of our Airmen and Families. The recent stop movement order has no doubt impacted you or your family’s plans, but from someone who is very focused on protecting you, your family and our community, this order is a welcome and important tool in our efforts to reduce movement and thus decrease the chances of additional exposure to the COVID-19 virus. I’m confident that if we all act responsibly and follow basic health guidance, we will get through these challenging times. We will continue to push information out as fast as we get it. If you have any questions about our current guidance, please engage your chain of command. If you have questions about COVID-19, please visit www.cdc.gov/COVID19. Remember: Stay calm, stay clean, and be responsible.”

-Col Matthew Leard, 97th AMW commander
