Travel Updates
Be Proactive
NEW- COMMANDER UPDATES
- For a few weeks the services have been asking for waiver authorities to be delegated to the wing-level. They did one better -- the leave approval is now in your unit commander’s hands! However, this does not change the lens that we should view our circumstances. I need you individually, and commanders, to make hard decisions about where to go (based on the state’s COVID-19 conditions). The approach on why an individual should be allowed to travel to a high-risk state should still be based on humanitarian or hardship reasons. I trust you all will do the right thing.
There is one exception to commanders being the approval authority for leave. The local leave area is still set to 250 miles (based on USSPACECOM vector). Supervisors are allowed to approve those leave requests as directed by their unit leadership. Detailed instructions are outlined below from HQ USSF so please leverage this approach when considering leave.
The 250 mile local leave area applies to passes as well. Please coordinate approval with your commander if you are wanting to travel outside of that radius during the pass periods.
