Joint Base Myer-Henderson has begun preparing for new visitor access control measures, as directed by the Secretary of the Army.
The new measures are designed to keep all visitors to all three portions of the joint base safe and secure, but will increase traffic delays at access control points -- Fort Myer's Hatfield Gate off of Washington Boulevard at South 2nd Street, in particular.
Department of Defense identification card holders will experience the fewest delays. The changes will take effect Feb. 16.
Watch for additional information on JBM-HH access changes, including steps individuals can take to minimize delays in upcoming editions of the Pentagram.
The Directorate of Emergency Services encourages non-DoD ID card holders, visitors and contractors ineligible to obtain Common Access Cards, who frequent the joint base, to begin the pre-vetting process for issuance of a locally-produced JBM-HH access credential at Bldg. 415 (Provost Marshal's Office) on the Fort Myer portion of JBM-HH.
Pre-registration is open until Feb. 13.
The Visitor Control Center is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., but is closed on weekends and all federal holidays.
For more information, call 703-696-8968 or 703-588-2803.
