Holloman AFB raises HPCON to B as precaution

  • Published

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

There are no known cases of COVID-19 at Holloman or in the immediate local area. Holloman leadership remains vigilant, working with city, county and state officials.

HPCON levels set additional actions for installations based on health threats to base personnel. HPCON Bravo is the second step beyond the normal baseline, and acknowledges a moderate health threat, and sets strict preemptive, precautionary measures. These strict 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 continues to be minimal on base and teleworking is being widely used. All necessary steps to protect the health of our military, civilians, contractors, and families are being taken
