Minot AFB limits access to base
MINOT AIR FORCE BASE – Minot Air Force Base is limiting access to the base for retirees, their dependents, and veteran benefits card holders who do not live on the installation and who are not Department of Defense civilian employees.
These individuals are limited to accessing the base only on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. On those days, they may access the Shoppette, Military Treatment Facility, the pharmacy, and helping agencies (i.e. MPF, Finance, Legal, etc. – by appointment only). Most other facilities are closed due to COVID-19. The Commissary and Base Exchange access is further limited to Wednesdays and Sundays.
Retirees, their dependents, and veteran benefits card holders who are DoD civilian employees are not restricted from access to base; however, they also may only access the Commissary and Base exchange on Wednesdays and Sundays.
All patrons seeking to visit the Military Treatment Facility must call ahead, answer screening questions, and have an appointment on the designated days, Wednesdays and Fridays. If medical care is required on a restricted base access day, MTF staff will assist beneficiaries through phone consultation or coordinate care off-base.
All individuals on Defense Department property, installations, and facilities must wear cloth face coverings when they cannot maintain 6 feet of social distance in public areas or work centers. This includes all military personnel, DoD civilian employees, family members, DoD contractors, and all other individuals on DoD property, installations, and facilities.
The restrictions will be lifted as soon as conditions allow.
