is open 24/7. All non-DoD, non-federally-affiliated visitors MUST use 
this gate to access Fort McNair.
    Base Access Requirements: All visitors without a U.S. Department of 
Defense Common Access Card (CAC) or U.S. military ID must be vetted in 
advance to gain entry onto the base. Per the U.S. Army, all non-DoD 
civilians are required to have a background check before being allowed 
on a military installation; better known as vetting. It is HIGHLY 
recommended that visitors undergo the pre-vetting process and apply 
online as detailed below.
    For pre-vetting:
    To allow sufficient time for processing, access requests should be 
submitted 10 days before the event. The visitor will receive 
notification via email, and, if approved, a one-day visitor's pass for 
entry onto the base. The visitor must print the pass and present it to 
the guard at the gate to enter Fort McNair.
    (a) If the visitor has a valid U.S. driver's license:
    (i) The visitor can apply for access online at https://pass.aie.army.mil/jbmhh/. Under Reason for Visit, select ``Other.'' 
Alternatively, the visitor can apply in person at the Fort McNair 
Visitor Control Center (VCC)/Police Substation (Building 65) from 8 
a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
    (b) If the visitor does not have a U.S. driver's license:
    (i) The visitor must fill out a paper application in person at the 
Fort McNair Visitor Control Center (VCC)/Police Substation (Building 
65) from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
    For vetting the day of the event:
    The visitor must apply in person at the Fort McNair Visitor Control 
Center (VCC)/Police Substation (Building 65) from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. 
Monday through Friday. The visitor should plan to arrive early, as the 
procedure for running background checks and issuing passes can take 
much longer than expected.
