Fort Eisenhower announced a phased reopening Tuesday after Hurricane Helene.
Access to the installation and the reopening of services will happen in phases to ensure the safety of the Fort Eisenhower community, according to a news release from Fort Eisenhower public affairs.
“The phased reopening of services will be deliberate and sequential. Chain of command and supervisors should be communicating their return-to-work plan to employees. DOD-ID card holders and previously credentialed contractors supporting priority projects may access the installation. The installation is not open to visitors at this time,” the release said.
Open facilities include the Main Exchange, Military Clothing Sales, Commissary, UPS Store and the Shopettes gas and retail located at Gates 1 and 5.
The Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center available services include pharmacies and emergency department. The main outpatient and exchange refill pharmacies are fully operational and urgent and emergent care is available 24/7 with limited capabilities to treat, stabilize and transfer, as necessary.
A full list of open services is available on the Garrison Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/forteisenhower or on the CCoE Website https://cybercoe.army.mil/Announcements-Press-Releases/. Any service not listed, is closed. Closed facilities and outdoor areas are off limits until they can be declared safe.
The Cyber Center of Excellence facility managers are finalizing inspections of each classroom to ensure we are ready to receive trainees in all disciplines. This includes inspecting for damage and cleaning areas that have been without power. Some classes may resume earlier than others as we safely re-establish our training cycles. Soldiers will be notified through their chain of command when to report to Fort Eisenhower.
