13 Jul 2026 19:35
Medical Readiness Clinic Schedule Change: July Medical Readiness Clinics The Medical Readiness Clinic schedule for July has been modified to accommodate requirements for Cadet Summer Training. The usual Wednesday schedule has been shifted, with remaining clinics scheduled to take place: July 22, and July 29. Please adjust your schedules accordingly to maintain readiness requirements. Upcoming Closures The Ireland Army Health Clinic, Pharmacies and Jordan Dental Clinic will close at 1 p.m. for the day, July 16, for training. After-Hours, Urgent, and Emergency Care Your health needs don't always follow a 9-to-5 schedule. Here’s what to do when you need care outside of normal clinic hours. • For True Emergencies: If you experience a threat to life, limb, or eyesight, call 911 or go to the nearest Emergency Room immediately. The nearest emergency room to Ireland Army Health Clinic is Baptist Health Hardin in Elizabethtown, KY. • For Urgent Health Advice: Call the MHS Nurse Advice Line (NAL) at 1-800-TRICARE (874-2273), option 1. • Available 24/7, this service connects you with a registered nurse who can provide medical advice, help you find the nearest urgent care center, and schedule next-day appointments at IRAHC if needed. • Active-duty Service Members: You must call the Nurse Advice Line to receive a referral before visiting a civilian urgent care center to avoid out-of-pocket costs. Cyclosporiasis You have no doubt see the headlines about the current infections across several states that are causing 'explosive diarrhea'? Here’s what you need to know: This is an infection called Cyclosporiasis. It is caused by a parasite and spreads through contaminated food or water. Symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea, headache, low-grade fever, and other flu-like symptoms.

Periodic increased wait times at Fort Knox gates expected through August
13 Jul 2026 19:33
Thousands of additional personnel and visitors will be in the Fort Knox area through August as part of Cadet Summer Training (CST) missions and activities. This massive influx of people will naturally result in much higher traffic volumes and extended gate delays, especially on CST Family Day and graduation dates. While commuters may be accustomed to clearing the gates in less than 3 minutes, wait times on these event days are expected to be notably longer than usual. Commuters should adjust their daily morning schedules and plan to arrive earlier than normal. Additionally, all drivers are asked to remain patient and exercise caution when navigating the increased gate traffic, keeping in mind that many of the visitors arriving for these events are unfamiliar with Fort Knox. Important gate recommendations for the workforce: • Chaffee (main) Gate congestion: Upwards of 90% of visitors for Family Days and graduations will enter through Chaffee (main) Gate due to its location being adjacent to the Fort Knox Visitor Center. • Recommendation: Members of the Fort Knox workforce should avoid Chaffee (main) Gate and consider using Brandenburg or Wilson gates during the mornings of Family Days and graduations to bypass visitor traffic. Temporary surge in resources (July 1 – Aug. 14): To support the increased CST-related traffic volume, additional surge resources have been provided to the Directorate of Emergency Resources. As a result, all gate entrance lanes – with the exception of commercial/military/oversize vehicle and inspection lanes – are scheduled to be open from 6:30-9 a.m. during weekdays, excluding the upcoming federal and training holiday. Remaining scheduled CST Family Days and graduations: ***Family Days are scheduled to begin at 11:15 a.m., while graduations are scheduled to begin at 8 a.m.*** • Thursday, July 16 – Family Day • Friday, July 17 – Advanced Camp 4th Regiment graduation • Monday, July 20 – Family Day • Tuesday, July 21 – Advanced Camp 5th Regiment • Friday, July 24 – Family Day • Saturday, July 25 – Advanced Camp 6th Regiment graduation • Sunday, July 26 – Family Day • Monday, July 27 – Basic Camp 1st Regiment graduation • Thursday, July 30 – Family Day • Friday, July 31 – Basic Camp 2nd Regiment graduation • Friday, Aug. 7 – Family Day • Saturday, Aug. 8 – Advanced Camp 7th Regiment graduation • Tuesday, Aug. 11 – Family Day • Wednesday, Aug. 12 – Advanced Camp 8th Regiment graduation • Saturday, Aug. 15 – Family Day • Sunday, Aug. 16 – Advanced Camp 9th Regiment graduation For more information on CST, visit https://armyrotc.army.mil/cst-family-day-and-graduation/.
