CBks Regulation 190-7

Yes, a minor with a DOD ID Card may escort other minors onto Carlisle Barracks, but not an adult 18 years and older.

Homeland Security Presidential Directive #12 directs the Department of Defense to use the National Crime Information Center Interstate Identification Index (NCIC-III) to vet personnel entering the installation that do not possess a U.S. Government Common Access Card (CAC), and/or Uniformed Services Identification (ID) Card.

Started Jan. 1, 2015, Carlisle Barracks is vetting all visitors and uncleared contractors requesting entry that do not possess a U.S. Government Common Access Card (CAC), Uniformed Services Identification (Military ID) Card or Gold Star ID Card. Visitors will need to go to the Visitor Center located at the Claremont Gate for a background check and a visitor's pass.

You will be required to go to the Claremont Gate Visitor Center for a NCIC-III background check and receive a visitor's pass - or you can have someone bring your ID to you at the Visitor Center.

Visitors have the option of applying for background checks and receiving AIE passes up to 30 days in advance by either:

1. Visiting or emailing the Visitor Center at 870 Jim Thorpe Rd or usawc-cbks-des-visitorcenter@army.mil to obtain Carlisle Barracks Form 228, Installation Access Control Application.
2. Pre-register online at https://pass.aie.army.mil/?b=usa&i=carlisle_barracks&t=v or scan the barcode:
   
   

You can call the Visitor Center at (571) 821-7517 for assistance.

Proceed to the Claremont Gate where the Security Guards will process you for a pass when the Visitor Center is closed.

Food delivery drivers will be required to get a visitor pass when they deliver food on the installation. It should only add a few minutes to the delivery time, provided the delivery driver meets the criteria for receiving a visitor pass.

You can apply for a visitor pass at the Visitor Center. AIE passes are valid for one year and must be renewed annually.
