A: For military member travel, leave/pass travel from BAFB is now permissible under the following conditions:

1. Before granting leave/pass periods, the member’s supervisor(s) must conduct a risk assessment and health status of the military member requesting travel.
2. For members on leave travel outside of the United States (i.e., all 50 states, district, and territories), supervisors will conduct a mandatory pre-departure briefing with the member prior to departure; this is documented on the “COVID-19 Pre-Departure Worksheet.” The member’s supervisor must sign the form. Copies of the pre-departure briefing will be maintained by the unit for pass periods and uploaded by the member into LeaveWeb for leave. If the member is on leave/pass and not leaving the United States, no “COVID-19 Pre-Departure Worksheet” is required.
3. Members should not travel if they are experiencing symptoms consistent with COVID-19 or if they have been in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19 within the last 14 days.
4. Members will comply with all DOD, Federal, State, and local restrictions while in leave/pass status. DOD guidance and resources can be found at https://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/coronavirus. State and local restrictions can usually be found on the respective state’s Department of Health website.
5. Regular and special pass travel are limited to 8-hour driving radius from BAFB.
