COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Guidance Repository

There is more guidance being published than anyone can keep up with. I’ll continue to update this post and ask others to share updates in the comments.

Updated 25 March 2021

I found a good repository of COVID guidance on AFSOC/FM’s SharePoint site (link).

Note from SAF/FMB (26 March 2020):

In light of the current COVID-19 (coronavirus) environment, please be reminded that the use of Emergency and Special Program (ESP) Code C1 (Charlie One) is crucial in:

a) accurately tracking cost data in order to meet reporting requirements

b) obtaining potential additional funding (or reimbursement) as appropriate [Note, reimbursement not guaranteed]

Please use ESP Code C1 on all applicable commitment, obligation, and expenditure documents to capture total costs, both direct and reimbursable.  Using ESP Code C1, in conjunction with properly recorded accounting elements (e.g., element of expense, sales code, buyer sales code, etc.) will allow AF to adequately identify who is being supported, and what goods and services are being provided.
