Vehicle and equipment operators must also possess and be ready to show a valid state and/or commercial driver's license, current vehicle registra-tion, and proof of state required minimum liability insurance.

2.5.1.3.2 The Contractor shall provide all information required for background checks to meet installation access requirements, to be accomplished by the installation Provost Marshall Office, Director of Emergency Services, or Security Office.

2.5.1.3.3 ACCESS TO ARMY INSTALLATIONS – PERSONNEL AND VEHICLES.

The Government recognizes the important roles companies like you play in our day-to-day oper-ations. That is why USAG-Hawaii is enhancing the current access control solution called the Au-tomated Installation Entry (AIE) Program. This program supports the security requirements while offering a streamlined access procedure for vendors, contractors, sub-contractors, suppli-ers and service providers. This program is available to new and existing personnel who require access to USAG-Hawaii and are not authorized to receive a Department of Defense CAC and desire a streamlined entry into the installation. Sponsorship and participation at each USAG- Hawaii location (e.g., Schofield Barracks, Wheeler Army Airfield, Fort Shafter, Tripler Army Med-ical Center, Pililaau Army Recreation Center and Pohakuloa Training Area is required.

AIE Credential holders may access the installation through any of the USAG-Hawaii Gates that size allows and will only be subject to random inspections.

Companies that choose not to participate in the AIE Program will have limited access through the Schofield Barracks Lyman gate, Fort Shafter’s Buckner Gate and Tripler Army Medical Cen-ter Main Gate. All employees will be required to go through the inspection area and will be sub-ject to the standard access control procedures, security screenings, and/or vehicle inspections.

*Access control changes can occur at any time due to security requirements

Companies that service USAG-Hawaii facilities may initiate enrollment in the AIE Program by contacting the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).

If you have questions regarding the AIE Program at USAG-Hawaii, please contact Security Branch Operations, at 808-656-0232.

AIE Program Enrollment Process for Background Check and Process to obtain AIE Badge

The COR will complete the Sponsor information and pro-vide the list to the Directorate of Emergency Services (DES) Access Control Division. The DES will conduct the background check to vet personnel prior to arrival to pick up their AIE Badge, and will ensure a more efficient process while saving time.

The AIE Program performs background screening and credentialing.

DES will contact the COR (Sponsor) once the background checks have been validated to schedule a time for the contractor employees to go to one of the registration locations and com-plete the process to obtain the AIE Badge.

Contractor employees should bring an acceptable form of identification (see List A and List B) to the appointment. Upon arrival, a photo will be taken to complete the process. Employees will be issued their AIE Badge, which they will use for access to the installation.
