Stuttgart community members can expect an increasing number of on-post services to reopen in the near term, with plans being developed to allow for the safe reopening of additional services.
Facilities will reopen in a thoughtful and deliberate fashion, ensuring that our on-post services and community members are protected, said Col. Jason Condrey, garrison commander. “In many cases, it’s not a date that’s driving the opening—it’s the conditions being set.”
This means that re-openings on post likely lag behind an easing of equivalent restrictions in the state and local area. Community members’ patience and understanding is appreciated.
The garrison command and staff are actively reviewing potential reopening plans and dates for other services and will announce these when more information is available.
These adjustments are possible only as a result of the vigilance and discipline of Stuttgart military community members, said Condrey, encouraging the continued practice of individual preventative measures.
All existing COVID-prevention requirements—including mask wear, hand washing/sanitizing, and physical distancing—must be observed while utilizing facilities.
Screeners
Health screeners will no longer be posted at installation access control points from May 9. Screeners will remain in place at entrances to critical, high-traffic services. Reinstatement at ACPs is possible if warranted by changes in the community’s COVID situation.

The Passport and SOFA Office will be reaching out to clients whose documents are ready for pickup and thereafter begin opening for limited appointment services for customers with urgent support needs.
