This is an exciting time to PCS to Alaska, however we also recognize that for some it may be a period of uncertainty considering the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. We encourage all personnel to check the Alaska COVID-19 webpage, https://covid19.alaska.gov/faq/, for the latest information on state requirements and our official JBER webpage, https://www.jber.jb.mil/Coronavirus/, for information on installation policies, particularly information on restriction of movement requirements for inbound personnel.

Some processes for newly arrived personnel have been modified in response to COVID-19 and attached you will find information designed to assist you and your family with in-processing during this period of reduced services. Please note the attached was developed to assist with getting settled at JBER, but does not replace service-specific in-processing requirements.
