Active component commanders will ensure the standdown event is conducted no later than (NLT) 18 May 2023. Commanders may elect to kick-off this event with Town Halls; however, they must be followed by small group guided discussions that reach 100% of our military and civilian Airmen.

Supervisors and or training officials will give credit to employees for completing training via email or virtually. Employees will not be required to do any testing in relation to this training. Full time union stewards will be able to accomplish training via email or virtually and will receive credit accordingly. Any face to face training must be conducted in accordance with local installation COVID restrictions per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance. Employees in Temporary Duty (TDY) status, on leave or otherwise unable to accomplish the training before the deadline, will be afforded the opportunity to accomplish the training upon return.
