The Defense Health Agency's Senior Enlisted Leader, Chief Master Sgt. Tanya Y. Johnson, provides a message about TRICARE Open Season 2024.

TRICARE has recently expanded its hearing aid coverage to include eligible children of retired service members. This new coverage results from a new statute. It aims to improve access to life-changing medical technology and help eligible children of retired service members get the hearing aids they need.

TRICARE Open Season is Nov. 11–Dec. 10, 2024. Open season applies to you if you're enrolled in or eligible for TRICARE Prime, the US Family Health Plan, or TRICARE Select.

Have you considered changing your family’s TRICARE health plan for 2025? Now is your opportunity: TRICARE Open Season starts Nov. 11 and runs through Dec. 10.

Living and working on any military installation brings with it the real-life threat of chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear hazards. These hazards can come in many forms, from accidental spills to deliberate attacks. Regardless of the scenario, the Airmen of the Dover Air Force Base Warm Zone team stand ready to ensure healthcare workers can treat the wounded without becoming casualties themselves.

The 114th Fighter Wing executed a unique two-week Readiness Exercise (RE) that tested their ability to stand up an Aerospace Control Alert (ACA) sight, test Agile Combat Employment (ACE) skills on short notice, and facilitate Multi-Capable Airmen (MCA) training at Joe Foss Field, S.D. and the surrounding area from Aug. 3-13, 2021.

In August 2020, Dover Air Force Base developed the Operational Support Team, a five-person medical team that embeds into units for three to four months focusing on preventative care. The team is made up of a physical therapist, physical therapy technician, a social worker, a psychologist and a strength coach, providing on-site care, training and preventative fitness and mental health techniques tailored to each squadron’s needs.

DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. -- In order to complete the mission at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, the Airmen must maintain focus while on the job. One way to ensure this is to alleviate stress caused by family needs, such as child care. With the Child Development Center and Youth Center constantly in high demand, the 436th Force Support Squadron provides additional child care options available through the Family Child Care program.
