If the individual is not on the list, he/she will be detained and subject to the National Crime Information Center III (NCIC III) background check requirements for installation access.

Safety: As a tri-service Department of Defense Range, White Sands has tested nearly every type of deployable ordnance developed in the United States since 1945. Quite a number of these munitions were deliberately designed to blend in with the terrain, and their presence may not be immediately obvious to the casual observer. Consequently, even though WSMR performs extensive Range Clearance activities, there is no assurance that any area of the Range is truly 100% free of unexploded ordnance. More information concerning unexploded ordnance hazards can be viewed at http://www.wsmr.army.mil/ux/Pages/default.aspx. The contractors are responsible to view the video found at this link under the title, UXO Hazards Video.

Photography & Video Ban: No photographs or videos are allowed on WSMR except in the WSMR museum missile park area.

Lodging Accommodations: There is a hotel located on the main post and it is open to civilians. They currently have rooms available for the required dates. Reservations can be made by calling 575-678-1838.
