FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo. — The Fort Leonard Wood Visitor Center, located just outside the Main Gate, is scheduled to begin new hours of operation Jan. 11.
The Visitor Center, which is usually open 24/7, will be closing daily from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
Security Guard Chief Randy Wood, with the Directorate of Emergency Services, said these changes are temporary and are due to limited resources.
“It will reopen to 24 hours once resources will allow,” Wood added.
Until then, visitors arriving between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. will still be able to apply for temporary post access.
“Visitors should continue to the lanes when the visitor center is closed. The guards will do the required checks and issue temporary passes if everything is good,” Wood said.
He added that security guards will be able to provide instructions should a visitor need a longer pass.
“We apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause. Our team is committed to keeping the installation safe and secure, and we appreciate the community’s patience as we work through these resourcing challenges,” Wood said.
