EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) – The U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA) has temporarily adjusted processes to access the installation, effective January 4. While the installation remains open, anyone needing to enter the Academy installation must obtain a base pass, according to the USAFA.
USAFA says visitors can request a base pass with a DoD ID card sponsor, from the Pass and Registration Office located at the South Gate.
The Academy says the Santa Fe Trail is closed for the portion that crosses the Academy installation.
Athletics events, the 10th Medical Group, and other base services will remain open to the Department of Defense card holders and those with an approved base access pass sponsored by a DoD ID
cardholder.
The Academy says it is working with all official visitors for operations to continue as normal while ensuring the safety and security of its people, facilities and installation.
