Solid Curtain Gate Change at Pax River

Due to Exercise Solid Curtain-Citadel Shield 2012, security has increased at NAS Patuxent River. Because of this, there are entry gate changes to be aware of. Gate 1 is open 24 hours. For Friday, March 23 only, Gates 2 and 3 will be open from 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.

Mission Essential Personnel should report to work as scheduled on Friday. Non-Mission Essential Personnel should follow supervisor instruction. Enhanced security checks at all gates will result in much heavier than normal traffic congestion.

Gate changes will remain in effect through the duration of the Exercise or until otherwise updated.
