HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. – In preventative response to the evolving COVID-19 situation, Col Joseph Campo, 49th Wing Commander, has placed Holloman Air Force Base at Health Protection Condition Alpha.

There are no known cases of COVID-19 at Holloman or in the immediate local area.

Holloman leadership continue to monitor this situation closely and is in constant contact with city, county and state officials. HPCON levels set actions for installations based on health threats to base personnel.

HPCON Alpha is the first step up from the normal baseline, and acknowledges the potential for a health threat, and sets preemptive, precautionary measures in place. These measures are taken from the Department of Defense and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Holloman’s mission of producing operationally ready F-16 and MQ-9 aircrew will continue. Staffing will be minimal on base and teleworking will be widely used. All necessary steps to safeguard our military, civilians, contractors, and families are being taken
