    Fort Pickett is currently processing and temporarily housing Afghans who the United States worked to evacuate — many of whom worked to assist the U.S. mission in Afghanistan. In the wake of my visit, I will continue monitoring the security and medical needs of this operation.

    Agriculture is Virginia’s largest private industry — and Central Virginia is home to thousands of acres of rich farmland. I always appreciate the opportunity to hear directly from the crop and livestock producers who keep Virginia’s economy strong.

    We saw medical tents for those needing urgent care and isolation tents for those diagnosed with COVID-19.   Because each evacuee was tested for COVID-19 before arriving at Fort Pickett and with the use of spot testing, there have been fewer than 10 cases inside. 5/8

    Upon arrival, each evacuee is identified, undergoes medical processing, and receives required vaccinations — including against COVID-19. From there, they are processed for resettlement.   I was impressed by the medical capacity propped up in the Fort. 4/8
