During these unsettling times Army Universi-ty wants to ensure our Soldiers, Civilians and Families remain safe and healthy. We at Fort Leavenworth are operating at mission essen-tial personnel in the office while the remain-der of employees telework from home or are on Safety Leave to prevent any spread of illness. Please do your part to take the best care of yourself and your family during this fragile time. Know the symptoms, ensure you have the most current information (CDC.gov) and seek medical care if you need it. We want all of you to return safe and healthy to ensure we are mission ready.
