Contractor employees entering Schriever Space Force Base will obtain their visitor badge from the 50th SFS, Building 200. The visitor badge will be returned to the North Entry Control Facility (NECF) each time the employee departs the Schriever Space Force Base controlled area. While within the Schriever Space Force Base controlled area, Contractor personnel will display the visitor badge on their outer garment above the waist and shall remain at all times within view of the escort official. Procedures are as follows: The escort official will identify and verify the official need of all visitors and give them the escort briefing prior to taking them into the restricted area.
