📢Heads up!📢

Fort Hood will conduct preventive maintenance on a central energy plant starting Nov. 2 through Nov. 15. Multiple buildings located in the block between Support Avenue, Convoy Drive, Tank Destroyer Boulevard and 72nd Street will be without AC. This maintenance is necessary to ensure the system is ready for summer 2027 AC demands.

Weather outlook for Fort Hood for that period is favorable, with high temperatures in the mid to low 70s each day.
