COVID 19 Update – XVIII Airborne Corps, and Fort Bragg Guidance for Indoor Settings

Effective immediately, in concert with Department of Defense mandate, all personnel; Soldiers, civilians, and beneficiaries; must wear masks indoors on Fort Bragg, regardless of vaccination status. Additionally, unvaccinated personnel must wear masks in outdoors public spaces.

The COVID-19 Delta variant, which has caused an increase in our reported cases of the virus on Fort Bragg and in the surrounding communities, drives these policies.

To be clear:

• Masks are required inside all installation facilities (workplaces, gyms, Post Exchange, Commissaries, Child Development Centers, etc.)
• All personnel will wear masks inside dining facilities until seated to eat, at which time masks may be removed. See attachments for more information.
• Statement on Facial Coverings "By order of the XVIII Airborne Corps Commanding General, all individuals must wear facial coverings when entering the facility. 
• Social Distancing is being enforced.
• Fort Bragg is a restricted access base. All persons 16 years and older entering the base are required to show a picture identification.
• Fort Bragg regulations prohibit the use of cell phones while operating a motor vehicle, except with the use of a hands-free device.
• For more information on Fort Bragg gate access call 910-432-8193.
• Wearing portable headphones, earphones, or other listening devices while operating a motor vehicle is prohibited.
• The use of radar or laser detection devices to indicate the presence of speed recording instruments or to transmit simulated erroneous speeds is prohibited.

Individuals must consistently wear a mask that covers the nose and mouth and that comports with all current guidance from the CDC and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Locations where masks must be worn include any common areas or shared workspaces (including open floorplan office spaces, cubicle embankment s, and conference rooms) and in outdoor shares spaces. Masks recommended by the CDC include non-medical disposable masks, masks made with breathable fabric (such as cotton), masks made with tightly woven fabric (i.e., fabrics that do not let light pass through when held up to a light source), masks with two or three layers, and masks with inner filter pockets. Novelty or non-protective masks, masks with ventilation valves, or face shields are not authorized as a substitute for masks. Masks must fit properly (i.e., snugly around the nose and chin with no large gaps around the sides of the face).

Defense Service Network (DSN) Dialing Instructions

The DSN is the provider of long-distance communications service for the Department of Defense (DoD). Every installation has a special DSN number and the numbers vary by world-wide location. In order to place a call using DSN, the caller must be using a military phone on an installation. Cell phones cannot dial DSN numbers. When dialing a DSN number from a United States installation to another United States installation, it is unnecessary to dial the DSN 312 area code. When dialing a DSN number to/from overseas locations, the DSN area code must be included.
