Educate & Celebrate

We invite you to join us as we educate our community on Red-Flag-Alaska, celebrate the Air Force's 70th Birthday, and interact with the men and women who make our mission possible!

We'll be providing updates regularly, so please remember to check back in and follow-up as we near closer and closer to August 5, 2017!

1. Despite Alaska laws, the federal government considers marijuana to be a Schedule I drug; meaning it is illegal for military members AND civilians to use, possess, distribute, manufacture or introduce cannabis in any form. Punishment on a federal installation is severe and if cannabis is found on any persons, individuals will be subject to court procedures, base debarment, or other disciplinary action.

2. Possession of weapons - to include privately owned firearms (concealed or otherwise) - is strictly prohibited. Weapons include firearms, knives with blades longer than 5 1/2 inches, self-defense agents - such as pepper spray and stun guns - martial arts weapons and various devices capable of firing projectiles - such as paintball guns, bows and arrows, BB guns, blow guns, slingshots, blank cartridge pistols, straight razors, etc. If found, they will be confiscated in accordance with federal laws and regulations and individuals will be subject to court procedures, base debarment, or other disciplinary action.

3. To reduce street/parking congestion, limit impact to operational installation facilities, and to safeguard increased pedestrian traffic, carpooling is highly encouraged. Drop-off points directly outside the event area entrance will be available.
