Overview
- Major commands must certify conditions across 100% of unaccompanied housing by Oct. 29 under an Oct. 21 task order the Air Force confirmed as authentic.
- Leaders are directed to immediately relocate airmen from rooms deemed unclean or unsafe and to prioritize in‑house repairs, with project funding requests due Nov. 4.
- The directive requires a force‑wide capability for residents to directly submit and track dorm work orders to improve maintenance transparency and response.
- Inspection scheduling is left to installation commanders, but the effort supports a Pentagon Barracks Task Force working on a 30‑day investment plan.
- Assessments will cover building exteriors, common areas, mechanical spaces, and all resident rooms for both trainees and permanent occupants, reflecting standards shaped by GAO‑documented risks like mold and pests.
