LOCATION OF US ARMY DUGWAY PROVING GROUND

CONTRACTOR ACCESS TO DPG

Access to U.S. Army Dugway Proving Ground (DPG) requires that Contractor employees voluntarily submit personal data (e.g., name, social security number, etc.) when applying for a DPG Identification Card or temporary access pass.

Adverse information revealed by such checks (e.g., outstanding criminal warrants, criminal history indicating a potential risk to DPG Installation security, or similar negative information indicating a potential security and/or Law Enforcement risk to DPG), may result in a denial of access and/or reentry to U.S. Army Dugway Proving Ground.

Delays caused by any adverse employee information do not constitute a basis for claim by the Contractor. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to assure all personnel scheduled to work on the installation have acceptable backgrounds.
