About this file
This document is a detailed guide for the Commercial Automated Shipping (CAS) system used by commercial carriers and service providers for delivering cargo to Department of Defense (DoD) facilities. CAS is a web-based platform that helps manage delivery appointments and ensure timely cargo pickup and delivery. The guide outlines five key steps for base access: 1) contacting the receiving facility to determine delivery procedures, 2) registering in the CAS system and creating an appointment request, 3) checking in at the installation gate with proper identification and delivery manifest, 4) presenting a valid REAL ID-compliant driver's license, and 5) following specific installation procedures.
The document also provides information about the External Certificate Authority (ECA) program, which supports secure communication between DoD and industry partners. Commercial users must obtain individual digital certificates through Identrust or Operational Research Consultants (ORC) to access DoD information systems. The guide includes detailed instructions for accessing CAS in the TEAMS website, with a registration process that involves accepting a PII disclaimer, selecting country of citizenship, associating an authentication certificate, choosing required applications, and submitting personal information. The account approval process typically takes 5-7 business days, and users must have their own unique digital certificate.

C.A.S. (COMMERCIAL AUTOMATED SHIPPING)
CAS for deliveries
CAS is a scalable, automated system that commercial carriers and service providers use to request appointments for picking up or delivering cargo at DoD facilities. It is a web-based environment that installations use to manage these appointments. The system helps ensure the timely delivery and pickup of goods.
Key steps for CAS delivery base access
1. Contact the receiving facility
Before using CAS, the driver or carrier must coordinate with the specific military installation to determine the proper delivery procedures.
2. Register in the CAS system
The carrier must register and create an appointment request through the CAS portal.
This involves providing information about the cargo and the scheduled delivery time.
3. Check-in at the gate
Upon arrival at the installation gate, the driver must present the necessary identification and delivery manifest. The gate guard will verify the CAS appointment, the identity of the driver, and inspect the cargo.
4. Provide proper identification
The driver must have a valid, REAL ID-compliant driver's license. The installation commander has discretion regarding access, and additional security protocols may be in place.
5. Follow installation procedures
Each installation may have specific requirements and restrictions. It is important to confirm with the receiving facility any additional access or security requirements.
CAS delivery contact
The official point of contact for questions about the Cargo Automated System (CAS) is the SDDC Systems Response Center.
• Phone (toll-free): 1-800-462-2176
• Phone (commercial): 618-589-9445
• Email: usarmy.scott.sddc.mbx.g6-scr-cas-hd@mail.mil
Base access for commercial deliveries
For the delivery portion of your request, you must coordinate with the specific military installation. Every base has different security procedures for commercial vehicles.
• Visit the installation's website: Use the "Military Installations" program on
Military OneSource to find contact information for a specific base.
• Contact the Visitors Center: The base's Visitor Control Center is the office responsible for issuing passes to non-DoD personnel, including commercial delivery drivers. Many bases require drivers to pre-register online.
• Present your credentials: Commercial drivers will typically need to present a
Real ID-compliant driver's license and other documents, such as vehicle registration and proof of insurance, to receive a pass.
• Follow escort procedures: Depending on the installation and the nature of the delivery, you may need to be escorted by an authorized person to your final destination on the base.
Notes Attachment titled “ECA Instructions”
The ECA program supports the issuance of DOD-approved certificates to industry partners and other external entities and organizations that conduct business with the
DOD. The ECA program is designed to provide a mechanism for these entities to securely communicate with the DOD and authenticate to DOD Information Systems. As of 30 December 2011, The Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command
(SDDC) will meet this DOD mandate by requiring the use of a digital certificate for industry partners requiring access to SDDC information systems. The ECA Certificates can be purchased through two sources: Operational Research Consultants (ORC), or
Identrust.
For DoD military, civilians and authorized contractors, your command/service will distribute the CAC (and CAC reader) to you.
For commercial users, please contact one of the External Certificate Authorities (ECA) below:
