JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO, Texas –
Updated as of 12:28 p.m., Jan. 22, 2018
Below is the status of our 502 ABW installation support and services
provided to all Mission Partners during this government shutdown.
Since the shutdown began at the start of the weekend, many of the immediate
effects will not be felt. As you know, only operations and activities
essential to life, health and safety - as well as the protection of our
national security - are exempted from shutting down. Below is a current list of impacts; however, these may
change as different guidance and exemptions becomes available. We will keep
the status of all activities posted on our www.jbsa.mil website and keep it
current with the updates highlighted in yellow.
As always, please contact us with any concerns or needs you have. Thank-you
for your patience as we continue to work through these challenging times.
