AVIANO AIR FORCE BASE - The Wyvern Nation Rock has been repainted during the COVID-19 pandemic! The Wyvern(s) remind its military members that everything will be alright (andra tutto bene).

This rock resides on the U.S. Air Force Base Aviano in Via Pordenone, Italy.

The Wyvern Nation Rock can be repainted every two weeks, but there are rules:

1. The 31st Fighter Wing CC, Wyvern 1, is the owner of the Rock
2. Wyvern 1 delegates care and painting of the Rock to any unit/organization (Group Squadron, Flight, Section, Private Organizations) with the following conditions:
• When the Rock is freshly/recently painted it must have a minimum cure time of two weeks before another unit attempts to paint the Rock
• Appropriately painted requirements:
- The Rock is to be painted in such a way as to represent the unit/private organization
- It must present a professional persona, Wyvern Nation’s Rock has a proud heritage and a legacy of remaining stone faced-do not embarrass the Rock
- Colors that stand out are highly encouraged, but camouflage painting is also acceptable
- The date the unit/private organization painted the Rock must be included
3. Rock painting Teams are not to be caught by any fellow Wyverns
- If caught, that unit/private organization must wait two weeks before attempting to paint the Rock again, the Rock will be fair game for painting at this point
4. Return with Honor and Rock on!

With the help of their Italian partners, U.S. service members stationed at Aviano Air Base have been able to deter threats through safe, secure, and effective operations during this global outbreak.
