Dyess AFB security may be viewed as being one of three broad levels, the level in effect being dependent on the location or AREA of Dyess AFB in question.

The lowest level of security exists in “GENERAL ACCESS” areas. These areas are all of Dyess AFB outside of the "USAF Controlled" and "USAF Restricted" areas.

“USAF Controlled” access areas are the mid-level security areas. Presence within the CONTROLLED ACCESS AREA is by authorization; however, the movement of authorized personnel in and out of these AREAS is generally not impeded.

The highest level of security on Dyess AFB is that within the “USAF RESTRICTED AREAS”.

These areas are subdivided to be known as Protection Level 1, 2 or 3 AREAS. Work schedule requests or changes to existing schedules for work to be performed in a “USAF RESTRICTED AREA” shall be submitted at least 7 calendar days in advance for approval and coordination of Dyess AFB Security Forces.

This permission is granted when a Contractor employee is issued an identification card. The GR will provide information necessary to obtain identification cards. The contractor shall be responsible to ensure that all of its employees obtain, and keep on their person at all times while working on the base, a USAF identification card. Upon completion of the work or termination of an employee, the contractor shall be responsible for turn in of identification cards to the Contracting Officer or to the Pass and Registration Office of the Security Forces.

NOTE: Failure to turn in badges will result in WITHHOLDING OF FINAL PAYMENT and revocation of any future badges issued by Pass and Registration Office to the employee and the contractor.

8.1. Dyess Form 173. The Dyess AFB Form 173 is subject to the privacy act of 1974, Authority: 10 U.S.C. 8012 and 5 U.S.C. 552a (b) (7). Disclosure is Mandatory: Failure to provide the information and Social Security Number (SSN) could result in denied access to the Dyess AFB installation.

8.1.1. Effective 1 Nov 04, a completed signed original Dyess Form 173 (Mar 04) must be delivered to Pass & ID by 0900 on the duty day prior to the desired day of entry onto Dyess AFB. The Visitor Control Center no longer issues temporary passes to contractor personnel unless they have already been previously identified on an executed Dyess Form 173. All information on the Dyess Form 173 must be typed and the authorizing signature must be in blue or black ink. Personal information provided on the Dyess Form 173 will be cross-referenced against state and federal criminal databases to identify those individuals possessing outstanding warrants. Those individuals with outstanding warrants will be detained at the Visitor Control Center on the desired day of entry, and turned over to Abilene Police Department.

8.1.2 All individuals with Dyess Form 173’s will still continue to be processed via the Texas Law Enforcement Terminal System (TLETS—police wants/warrants check). Once it is determined the individual is cleared from any wants or warrants, a copy of the Dyess Form 173 will be placed at the Tye Gate entry point. The Tye Gate Guard will use this form as an Entry Authority List (EAL) allowing contractors onto the installation. The contractor will then be able to go to the Gate directly (not the Visitor Control Center (VCC) or Arnold Gate) and verify if their Dyess Form 173 is there. Should their Dyess Form 173 not be there, they will be directed to the VCC for issuance of an AF Form 75. At this time, someone will physically have to meet them to sponsor them onto the installation. (Reasons why the form would not be at the guard shack would be erroneous driver’s license number, erroneous information, warrant, or identified as illegal alien).

8.3 Should their Dyess Form 173 be at the Tye Gate entry point, the contractor will be told to proceed directly to the Pass and Registration Section for the 7 SFS Contractor Badge issue. The

Pass Section will have the original Dyess Form 173. Once a badge is obtained, they need only show the badge at the installation gate for entry onto the installation. Please note that neither the Security Forces Control Center nor the Tye Gate Guards will check the Dyess Form 173 for errors. This is the responsibility of the Pass and Registration Section.

8.1.4. The Dyess Form 173 will be maintained at the Tye Gate entry point for 48 hours (two business days). After the specified time has expired, it will be destroyed. Should the contractor not process through Tye Gate in that 48-hour period, the contractor will require someone to physically vouch them on base to get a one day pass at the VCC so they may proceed to the Pass and Registration office for their badge. The hold period for these forms at the gate can and will be extended should rain days occur or through prior coordination with any affected agency.

8.1.5. All contractors must attend a contractor briefing given to the contractors by Pass and Registration who will provide a more detailed explanation regarding contractor badges and their uses. Pass and Registration reserves the right to not issue a contractor badge due to erroneous information or failure to disclose information on the Dyess Form 173. Any derogatory information received from the background check will result in the non-issuance of the contractor badge.
