Screening, Vetting, Escorting and Credentialing Procedures

A-I. VISJTOR CONTROL PROGRAM

1. Screening - Identity Proofing. Security personnel performing installation access control will verify a person's need to have access to the installation and perform a physical touch and visual inspection on all identifications of occupants. The inspection will include at a minimum, one of the following:

a. Visual match of the photograph on the card to the person presenting the ID.

b. Verifying authenticity by checking the anti-counterfeit or fraud protection embedded in the credential.

c. Authenticating cards, using automated means at installations where physical access control systems (PACS), such as Automated Installation Entry (AlE), have been fielded.

2. Vetting. Commanders and directors will establish and maintain a visitor control program to ensure only authorized individuals enter the installation. Commanders and directors will not grant unescorted visitors unescorted access without the required identity proofing, vetting against the National Crime Information Center Interstate Identification Index (NClC-lll), the Terrorism Screening Data Base (TSDB), and determination of a valid purpose for entry for all personnel who do not possess a CAC, another Federal personal identity verification (PlV) card, or other DOD ID card.

3. The Visitor Control Program will include a process to verify a person's need to access the installation. CAC holders, military retirees, and military Family members have an inherent official purpose and therefore are authorized to access Army installations. This inherent official purpose does not apply to "restricted access" areas on the installation, unless properly cleared. Up-Range is considered a 'restricted access", personnel who are traveling up-range will be required to carry a Form 102, White Sands Missile Range Access Badge (WAB Badge)! Up Range Request Form, with them always providing proof that they have been properly vetted and have up-range access.

4. Non-CAC holding visitors, contractors, vendors, and other personnel as described in Para 8-4, AR 190-13, must have a need validated by a DOD component for one-time, intermittent, or routine physical access to an Army installation and have a sponsor on the installation.

5. Commanders and directors will oversee execution of the following procedures for vetting non-DOD personnel (visitors and non-CAC-eligible personnel):

Appendix B - Additional Access Control Procedures to White Sands Missile Range Visitor Control Program

B-I. TRUSTED TRAVELER PROGRAM

The White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) Senior and Garrison Commanders have authorized the Trusted Traveler Program (TIP) but may suspend it for any reason. The purpose of a Trusted Traveler Program is to expedite access for Service members and dependent spouses, DOD employees, and retired Service members and spouses;

maintain efficient vehicle throughput; mitigate traffic congestion on adjoining highways;

and allow trusted travelers to vouch for occupants. The program allows for a uniformed Service member or government employees with a valid DOD CAC, a military retiree, with a valid DOD ID credential, or an adult 18 years or older with a valid DOD ID credential, to present their ID credential for access to the installation while simultaneously vouching for any vehicle occupants.

1. Commanders and directors may establish a TIP for use during FPCONS Normal, Alpha, and Bravo, as local security conditions permit. TTP is suspended under higher FPCONs or other exigent circumstance as the commander may choose.

2. The program is governed and implemented locally and may not be recognized by other installations.

3. The number of personnel a trusted traveler is allowed to sponsor at any one time will be determined by the local installation commander, director, or designated representative. At WSMR, this number is the. same as the number of seats, with seat belts, that the vehicle is built to carry.

4. Persons identified as trusted travelers are responsible for the actions of all occupants for whom they sponsor and for meeting all requirements for escort, as established by the Army or installation commander or director.

5. The TIP applies to the outermost perimeter of the installation. It does not apply to accessing facilities or areas inside the installation.

6. Trusted travelers cannot vouch for persons with foreign passports or ID cards, who must instead be cleared per paragraph 8-2.

7. Vehicle occupants that are sponsored by the trusted traveler must be 18 years of age or older and be in possession of: a valid picture ID card such as a REAL ID-compliant state driver's license, State ID, DD Form 1173 (Uniform Services Identification and Privilege Card), DD Form 2 series, or passport, issued by an authoritative state or federal agency so they can be readily identified.

8. Occupants under the age of 18 that do not possess a valid picture I.D card may be sponsored by an adult occupant of the vehicle that is cleared to enter the

B-I

Control Program installation.

9. Commanders and directors, ,at,their discretion, may suspend the TTP based on the local threat or may revoke individual trusted traveler privileges.

10. The program will be suspended at FPCON levels Charlie and Delta.

Commanders and directors will ensure the Installation Area Access Control Plan reflects procedures when the TIP is suspended.

II. DoD contractors in possession of a CAC, in accordance with paragraph 8-4, although authorized unescorted access, are not authorized trusted traveler privileges.

12. Commanders will implement policies to remove the trusted traveler status of any ID cardholder engaged in conduct that is detrimental to good order and discipline on the installation.. This would include those personnel who are subjects of a criminal investigation.

B-2. ACCEPTING LAW ENFORCEMENT CREDENTIALS FOR ACCESS TO

ARMY INSTALLATIONS DURING NON-EMERGENCY SITUATIONS

1. The number of various credentials used by various agencies makes it virtually impossible for, someone working an IACP to know if the credential is legitimate.

2. Law enforcement credentials will not be accepted as installation access credentials by any person in civilian clothes operating an unmarked vehicle DOD law enforcement personnel must present their CAC. Other Federal agents must present their federally issued PIV, which can be scanned by AlE and verified against certificate revocation list held at Defense Manpower Development Center (DMDC), as opposed to law enforcement credentials.

3. Law enforcement officials who do not have a DOD-issued CAC, a federally issued PIV, or if the installation cannot scan or verify the PIV, they will be vetted using their REAL ID-compliant State driver's license. This will be checked against NClC-III for proper identify proofing and vetting. After initial vetting, the person can be enrolled into the AlE database by linking their driver's license as a credential, or they can be issued, an installation's long-term access badge.

B-3. SPECIAL EVENTS

1. Senior commanders and directors with installation security responsibilities will clearly define access-control measures required to manage special events, circumstances, and activities on the installation. They will define the measures in the

2. Senior commanders and directors may waive NCIC-lll vetting for per6O1l attending during special events, activities, and circumstances, if it is imPrt1l.

3. Compensatory security measures for special events will be implemented when the requirements of this regulation cannot be met. Examples include:

a. lsolating event traffic and parking to specific locations or areas on the installation.

b. Transporting attendees to and from the event site by government transportation.

c. Directing, at a minimum, persons without a DOD access control credential per paragraph 8-4 to the specific gate(s) where security measures are conducted prior to entrance onto the installation.

d. AlE hand-held visitor pre-screening that uses Nlets can be used. Depetng on the FPCON System or local threat, random vehicle checks by military working dog teams and magnetometers should be considered.

B-4. INSTRUCTIONS FOR CAR-SHARING SERVICE DRIVERS

1. All taxi drivers and ride-sharing drivers (such as UBER, Lyft and so forth) must present a driver's license and show proof of insurance, and all vehicles must be properly registered.

2.

Although drivers for ride-sharing C1'1iS or taxis would then have a valid credential after proper vetting, their purpose would still need to be established fo.r each visit, which can be accomplished by 0W1ng the ride sharing hail on a smartphone or identifying the person and building for the pickup. This applies whether they present an AlE hard card or pass, or a reg 1stered REAL ID driver's license.

3. Trusted Traveler also does not apply to a ride-share driver travelling with Service member to enter the installation as escorted, without going through tile visitor control protocol, because they will no longer be escorted after dropping Off the service member at the destination.
