Active component commanders will ensure the stand-down event is conducted no later than (NLT) 6 April 2021; reserve unit commanders will conduct the stand-down NLT 6 June 2021. 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.
