NOTICES
AF CONNECT APP
Little Rock Air Force Base is reinstating the AF Connect App to deliver real‑time notifications and keep personnel informed on the latest updates across the installation. Additional details will be shared soon as the rollout progresses.
FOREIGN VISTOR BASE ACCESS
All personnel must complete the Foreign Visitor Worksheet and submit copies of the visitor's passport at least 30 days prior to the visit. This timeline ensures OSA and DHS have sufficient time to conduct required vetting and approve access. You can obtain the visitor worksheet from the 19 SFS Visitor Center.
ELECTROLYTE REPLENISHING MEMO
To ensure the health and readiness of our force, the 19th Medical Group has issued guidance authorizing the use of electrolyte sports drinks as a preventative measure against heat-related illnesses.
CYCLOSPORA ADVISORY
With the recent Cyclosporiasis cases in Arkansas, members are encouraged to be mindful of the produce they purchase and consume. Proper washing and safe handling of fruits and vegetables remain the best way to protect your health and your family’s well‑being. See the attached graphic for more information.
2026 MIDTERM ELECTIONS
As the 2026 Midterm Elections approach, we want to ensure all eligible voters have access to accurate information about voting procedures and available resources. Members who choose to participate in the election are encouraged to review official guidance on registration, absentee ballots, and state‑specific requirements. Eligible military members and dependents may use the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA, SF 76) to register to vote and request an absentee ballot. If a state ballot is not received within 30 days of the election, the Federal Write‑In Absentee Ballot (FWAB, SF 186) may be used. Additional instructions and fact sheets are available through the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP).
For step‑by‑step guidance, visit the FVAP resources at https://www.fvap.gov/military-voter and https://www.fvap.gov/militaryhowto. If you have any questions, contact the Installation Voting Assistance Office at 987‑2667 or email vote.littlerock@us.af.mil for support.
