PATUXENT RIVER NAVAL AIR STATION, MD โ€“ Naval Air Station Patuxent River will reopen Gate 3 beginning Wednesday, May 5, 2021. Gate 3 will be open from 5:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and closed weekends and holidays.

ย 

Pax River had closed Gate 3 after it established Health Protection Condition Charlie and a large population of the workforce moved to telework. With fewer vehicles driving on board, the command closed Gate 3 and shifted Naval Security Force personnel to other duties around the installation.

ย 

โ€œPax River remains in HPCON Charlie and health protection remains our number one priority,โ€ said Capt. John Brabazon, NAS Patuxent River commanding officer. โ€œWe remain committed to public health, and we appreciate our teamโ€™s patience as we continue to support our 53 mission partners during the pandemic.
