COVID-19 Update
As of March 28, 2020.
Gate Access
As part of Fort Drum’s ongoing effort to prevent and mitigate the spread of COVID-19 the following changes to how Soldiers, Families and civilians access Fort Drum are effective starting Saturday, March 28, until further notice:
Cerjan and Gas Alley Access Control Points are open. Wheeler-Sack Army Airfield Gate and Mount Belvedere Access Control Points are closed.
The Cerjan and Gas Alley Access Control Points will have designated lanes for DoD ID card-holding personnel and non-DoD ID card-holding personnel. Please look out for those signs and enter the appropriate lane.
Those seeking admittance to post via the Cerjan and Gas Alley Access Control Points will be required to submit to a temporal temperature check and answer the following questions:
1. Have you had contact with someone with a positive COVID-19 test or has a pending COVID-19 test?
2. Are you feeling ill?
3. Do you have a cough?
4. Do you have a runny stuffy nose?
5. Have you had a fever or felt feverish in the past 24 hours?
6. Have you traveled outside of 40 miles from Fort Drum?
Those who have a fever or answer yes to any these questions will be barred from entry and advised on how to seek further screening.
The Trusted Traveler program is suspended. Local access badges are suspended. Visitors with a bona fide need to enter post will need to go to the Visitor Control Center (Cerjan Access Control Point) during normal business hours from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., where they will submit to background checks and screening.
All visitor passes must be resubmitted through the Soldier’s chain of command.
Retirees and beneficiaries must go through medical screening before entering post.
Contractors and other service providers should seek clarification for Fort Drum access from their supervisors.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we work to prevent and mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

Officials say don’t rush to flush!
Fort Drum Directorate of Public Works officials wish to remind everyone on the installation that they should not flush anything but toilet paper down their toilets - to include septic-safe wipes and paper towels. These products need to be thrown in the waste basket, not flushed, as they put significant stress on the septic system.
Drivers will hold onto ID cards
A new procedure is now in place for scanning ID cards at all of Fort Drum’s gates. Personnel will request that drivers hold out their ID cards to be scanned. Gate guards will not physically handle the cards. Although this is a small change, it may cause delays. Drivers should plan to add a little extra time to their commute as we work to keep our community as healthy as possible.
