CURRENT AS OF 28 SEPT 2024

***ATTENTION: Beginning Oct. 1, 2024, "Trusted Traveler" will no longer be implemented at Luke AFB. All visitors (age 16 or older) are required to be screened, vetted, and issued appropriate DBIDS/visitor's passes by security forces prior to gaining access to the installation.***

PURPOSE: Base access control is designed to restrict and/or control entrance to properties and/or installations to only those authorized persons and their guests. Persons authorized access will be either escorted or unescorted.

BACKGROUND: Section 1069 of the 2008 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), now Public Law 110-181, establishes the standards required for entry to military installations in the United States. The Secretary of Defense has directed all military installations in the United States to comply with Directive-Type Memorandum (DTM) 09-012, Interim Policy Guidance for DoD Physical Access Control.

VISITOR PROCEDURES: Any visitor (age 16 or older) is required to be screened, vetted, and issued appropriate DBIDS pass by security forces prior to gaining access to the installation. To obtain a visitor's pass, the sponsor will meet their guest(s) at the Lightning Gate Visitor's Reception Center (VRC), operational Mon-Fri 0800-1600 hours. During non-duty hours, passes will only be issued at the South Gate Installation Entry Control Point.

COMMERCIAL ACCESS PROCEDURES: Any persons requesting access to Luke AFB for contracting or delivery purposes must be properly vetted through the South Gate Commercial Reception Center (CRC), operational Mon-Fri 0700-1500 hours prior to being granted access to the installation.

REAL ID ACT: Passed by Congress in 2005, the REAL ID Act established minimum security standards for state-issued driver’s licenses and identification cards and prohibits federal agencies, like TSA and military installations, from accepting licenses and identification cards for official purposes from states that do not meet these standards.
