The commander of U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) has directed all installations to implement heightened security measures at all entry gates until further notice. These measures include but are not limited to100% ID checks, random vehicle inspections, and the suspension of the Trusted Traveler Program until further notice.
Drivers should expect delays and possible random inspections at all entry gates and should plan accordingly. These enhanced security measures are being implemented to safeguard our servicemembers, civilians, and families, while ensuring our continued ability to generate and project combat power at the time and place of our Nation’s choosing.
Installation Access Update:
To avoid long processing times, all unvetted visitors are highly encouraged to submit access requests in advance of their visit. Once submitted and approved, the sponsor and visitor can report to the installation Visitor Center to pick up their pass. If the Visitor Center is closed, personnel should report the following business day to receive their pass.
The Trusted Traveler Program previously allowed DoD-affiliated sponsors to vouch for vehicle occupants for installation access. At this time, all unvetted visitors must report to the installation Visitor Center to request access.
