Good Afternoon D11 Northern and Southern Auxiliary,
I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving and were able to enjoy time with family and friends, even if it was virtually. Things continue to look different in 2020 that is for sure. As you all prepare for the upcoming holidays and the end of 2020 I would like to bring your attention to a few things.
1. ALAUX 034/20 TERMINATION OF ADOBE FLASH PLAYER SERVICE IN 2020 was released yesterday. From the title you may not think this ALAUX applies to you but many of the CG Auxiliary and CG Active duty online trainings will not be available after December 28, 2020. A list of training that will not be available after December 28 is in the ALAUX and I strongly encourage you to review it and complete any training you have coming or think you may need in the next few months. Efforts have begun to convert these trainings into operable versions but there will be a delay and anticipated completion is not until February or March of 2021.
2. Many areas of D11 are seeing spikes in COVID-19 and states and counties are putting into place stricter COVID-19 Health orders or stay-at-home orders. Currently I do not see D11 Auxiliary shifting from Phase 2 but remember that Phase 2 requires you to adhere to current State, local government and D11’s COVID-19 guidance on social and business restrictions. Unless you are specifically requested by an Active Duty CG unit to complete an essential activity then you must follow the local guidance if it is more restrictive than D11 guidance.
Please route any questions up your chain of leadership and stay healthy.
