The EU’s new Entry/Exit System is live, but DoW personnel on official NATO orders, DA Civilians, Contractors, and Command‑Sponsored Dependents are all exempt and shouldn’t register. Just tell border officials you’re traveling on official orders and carry your required documents. Some exempt travelers are being added by mistake, so check and request removal if needed. More info is on The Garrison Outlook. @ https://www.army.mil/italy
