Installation gates will also be operating under contingency hours. Non-essential travel to the base is discouraged as increased force protection measures and vehicle searches will cause extended delays.

It is also recommended to avoid entering the gates during the peak traffic hours of 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Additionally, two forms of identification will be required during the exercise. Units should consider staggering reporting times to avoid peak traffic periods.

The main gate will remain open 24 hours but expect extended delays. The west gate will only accommodate commercial vehicle traffic and will be closed to outbound traffic. The La Luz gate will be closed for the duration of exercise.

Kelly Road will be closed from Building 908 to Building 1102, the intersection of Tula Peak Road and Douglas Road.

Also, there will be no First Term Airmen's Course or Airmen Leadership School classes.

Access to facilities during the ORI could change at any time due to exercise requirements.
