1. FRAGO 2 TO HQDA EXORD 225-21 COVID-19 STEADY STATE OPERATIONS (CUI), DTG: 301555Z Jul 21. Updates in this FRAGO include: https://www.milsuite.mil/book/
a. (3.D.2.B.) [Change to Read] COVID testing is no longer provided
by the DOD at the aerial port of embarkation (APOE) locations (e.g., BWI
and SEA-TAC airports). A negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours is
still required in order to board the international flight. Personnel
should arrive at the APOE with a current negative test. Testing is
available at Army MTFs for Soldiers, family members, and DA civilians on
official travel. Commanders and supervisors will conduct pre-travel
risk assessment counseling and inform the traveler that COVID-19 testing
is no longer provided by the DOD at APOEs, and testing should be
conducted at the losing installation. If the traveler cannot obtain a
COVID-19 test through a federal dispensary, MTF, or otherwise covered by
insurance then reimbursement may be authorized as a miscellaneous
expense on the PCS travel voucher.
b. (3.D.2.B.1.) [Add] IAW Annex G, FHPG Supplement 20, Soldiers, DA
civilians, and family members conducting official international air
travel to or from the United States require a negative COVID-19 test
within 72 hours prior to departure. If the destination country requires a
specific test or test timing, personnel must follow the destination
location requirements. All personnel must maintain proof of the negative
test result during travel.
c. (3.D.5.) [Change to Read] Annex V is rescinded. Read and comply
with Deputy Secretary of Defense memorandum Updated Mask Guidance for
All DOD Installations and Other Facilities, 28 July 2021, Annex BB. In
areas of substantial or high community transmission, DOD requires all
service members, federal employees, on-site contractor employees, and
visitors, regardless of COVID-19 vaccination status, to wear masks
indoors on DOD installations/facilities… Senior commanders and managers
of installations/facilities in areas where community transmission is low
or moderate will determine if masks are necessary for fully vaccinated
personnel.
d. (3.D.5.A.) [Add] Read and comply with FHPG supplement 17,
Revision one (1), for the use of masks, personal protective equipment,
and non-pharmaceutical interventions, 22 June 2021, Annex T. Service
members should be prepared to show proof of vaccination (CDC vaccination
card or other medical documentation) if unmasked on DOD installations.
Commanders or supervisors may not inquire about or verify the
vaccination status of civilian employees. Unmasked civilian employees
may be asked to confirm vaccination status only if the commander or
supervisor has a reasonable basis to believe the unmasked employee has
not been fully vaccinated, based on reliable evidence such as firsthand
knowledge of voluntary employee statements.
