Wright-Patterson Air Force Base’s commissary gate has new operating hours.

Effective Sunday, Gate 1A — better known as the gate most convenient to the base commissary — will change daily operating hours. That gate will be open from 6 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., the base web site says.

Gate 1A is one of four base gates remaining open as the base operates with under a declared state of pubic health emergency. Many of the base’s 30,000 military and civilian employees are working from home these days.
