Sec. 552.108 General.

(a) Access controls. (1) Fort Lewis is a closed post. Access to the
installation is limited to persons with prior approved permission to
enter.
(2) Public access into the Main Cantonment Area of Fort Lewis is
controlled through a series of static security posts manned by sentries
empowered to grant or deny access to persons and material. The ``Main
Cantonment Area'' is that area of the Fort Lewis Military Reservation
shown on the overprinted 1:50,000 Fort Lewis Special Map (DMA Stock No.
V791SFTLEWIS) excluding those areas designated thereon as Impact Areas,
lettered Close-In Training Areas, or numbered Training Areas. A full
sized map is located at the Fort Lewis Area Access Office, Building T-
6127. As defined, the Main Cantonment Area includes, but is not
necessarily limited to, those areas of the installation containing
Government housing areas, schools, medical facilities, troop billets,
the installation command and control facilities, Gray Army Air Field,
Madigan Army Medical Center, and certain recreational sites controlled
by the Director of Personnel and Community Activities.
(3) Entry of the general public into the Main Cantonment Area at any
location other than through established manned access control points is
strictly prohibited. For the purposes of this regulation, entry includes
the entrance of the person, or the insertion of any part of his body, or
the introduction of any unauthorized material.
(b) Trespassers. Persons entering or remaining upon the Main
Cantonment

[[Page 322]]

Area of the Fort Lewis Military Reservation in violation of this
regulation are trespassing on a closed federal reservation and are
subject to citation by the military police. Trespassers may be barred
from subsequent access to the installation and will be subject to the
provisions of this regulation. A person violates this regulation when he
enters or remains upon the Main Cantonment Area when he is not licensed,
invited, or otherwise authorized to so enter or remain. All such persons
are trespassers for the purpose of this regulation.
(c) Prohibited Activities. Department of Defense policy permits
commanders to prohibit any expressive activity which could interfere
with or prevent the orderly accomplishment of the installation's
mission, or which presents a clear danger to the loyalty, discipline or
morale of their soldiers. Therefore, unless the prior approval of the
installation commander or his designated representative has been
obtained, no person while on the Fort Lewis Military Reservation shall:
(1) Engage in protests, public speeches, sit-ins, or demonstrations
promoting a political point of view.
(2) Engage in partisan political campaigning or electioneering.
(3) Display or distribute commercial advertising or solicit
business.
(4) Interrupt or disturb a military formation, ceremony, class or
other activity.
(5) Obstruct movement on any street, sidewalk, or pathway without
prior authority.
(6) Utter to any person abusive, insulting, profane, indecent or
otherwise provocative language that by its very utterance tends to
incite an immediate breach of the peace.
(7) Distribute or post publications, including pamphlets,
newspapers, magazines, handbills, flyers, leaflets, and other printed
material, except through regularly established and approved distribution
outlets.
(8) Circulate petitions or engage in picketing or similar
demonstrations for any purpose.
(9) Disobey a proper request or order by Department of Defense (DoD)
police, military police, or other competent authority to disperse or to
leave the installation.
(d) Failure to comply. Any person who enters or remains upon the
Main Cantonment Area of Fort Lewis Military Reservation when he is not
licensed, invited or otherwise authorized by the terms of this
regulation or who enters or remains upon the Fort Lewis Military
Reservation for a purpose of engaging in any activity prohibited by this
regulation is in violation of the provisions of the regulation.
Violators of this regulation may be subjected to administrative action
or criminal punishment under the Uniform Code of Military Justice
(UCMJ), title 18 U.S.C. 1382, or title 50 U.S.C. 797, as appropriate to
each individual's status. Maximum punishment under title 18 U.S.C. 1382
is a fine of not more than $500 or imprisonment for not more than six
months, or both. Maximum punishment under 50 U.S.C. 797 is a fine of
$5,000 or imprisonment for not more than one year, or both.

with AR 190-52 and the I Corps and Fort Lewis Installation Security and
Closure Plan. During periods of heightened security controls, sponsors
may be required to personally report to the Visitor's Information Center
to accept responsibility for the visitor.
