Appendix C Base Security Requirements
JOINT BASE CHARLESTON
CONTRACTOR & VENDOR SECURITY REQUIREMENTS HANDOUT
1 Jan 21
Due to ongoing terrorist threats, today’s environment requires us to exercise more vigilance in protecting our personnel and resources. It is necessary to closely scrutinize and monitor access to the base. Like other military installations, we perform background checks on all current and future contractors, subcontractors and vendors accessing the installation. The background check will include a criminal history check and fingerprinting of all individuals. In addition to the background check, we use a contractor/vendor identification badging process. These badges ease base entry for the individual and simplify entry control procedures for our Security Forces. The badge is required to be worn on base at all times.
The 628th Security Forces Squadron will gather information on anyone who would not otherwise be entitled unescorted entry to the base. This includes individuals who are allowed on base through contracts, subcontracts or agreement with any organization. Security Forces will keep a list of persons not authorized to enter JB CHS.
These security measures are not optional. JB CHS has the right to deny entry based upon results of the investigation and/or the refusal to submit fingerprints. The information included in this handbook is provided to help ensure all contractors working on JB CHS are aware of our security requirements. For additional entry requirements, review DOD Manual 5200.8, V3 and AFMAN 31-101, V3, Installation Perimeter Access Control.
Please work with Security Forces and give this matter your full attention so we can implement this process as quickly and efficiently as possible.
1. Assistance Available
1.1 The 628 SFS provides a 24 hour-a-day Base Defense Operations Center (BDOC) also referred to as the “Law Enforcement Desk”, for JB CHS and the housing area. The 628 SFS provides normal police functions that are associated with any civilian police force (i.e. traffic control, alarm response, accident and incident investigations, etc.). The JB CHS BDOC dispatcher is located in Building 254 and can be reached at extension (843) 963-3600.
1.2 The Visitor Control Center (VCC), under the J5 Plans & Programs section is responsible contractor access control onto JB CHS. All contractor security related questions should be directed to the VCC at the numbers listed below:
Numbers to call during normal working hours Monday through Friday:
JB CHS-AB VCC 963-7807/6158
JB CHS-WS VCC 794-7417/7712
2. Entry Requirements during Periods of Increased Security
2.1. Entry requirements identified in this document apply during normal day-to-day security conditions. These procedures may change with little or no notice due to an increased state of security affecting your ability to enter the installation.
2.2. If you are denied entry to the base due to enhanced security, you should immediately contact your base sponsor (i.e. Contract Administrator, Corps of Engineers, etc.).
*Note: If security procedures are increased you will need to follow the directions of the on-duty SF member. Failure to do so and you will be detained, denied entry and your access in the future may be denied.
3. Entry Requirements to JB CHS
