RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN directs Navy compliance with references (a) and (b)
and provides amplifying guidance on foreign national physical access to Navy
installations. Effective 25 February 2020, the Defense Manpower Data Center
will make programming changes to the Defense Biometric Identification System
(DBIDS) removing implicit access to all U.S. Navy installations located in
the Continental United States (CONUS) to include Hawaii and Guam for foreign
nationals and their dependents. Foreign nationals in possession of a common
access card (CAC) or their dependents in possession of dependent
identification card will be required to be registered for explicit permission
in order to access a Navy installation. As used in this NAVADMIN, the term
installation includes base, site, and facility. Foreign national credentials
must be provisioned for explicit access to each installation for which they
are assigned and/or authorized access. Adherence to the guidance and
timelines contained in paragraph 3 below will minimize operational impacts
and disruption to foreign military partners.
2. Reference (d) defines the CAC as simultaneously establishing identity,
fitness, and purpose for installation access. CACs held by U.S. military,
Department of Defense (DoD) civilian personnel and direct support U.S.
contractor personnel will continue to establish identity, fitness, and
purpose. Per references (a) and (b), CACs with a blue stripe will establish
identity and fitness only. Persons in possession of blue stripe CACs must
establish purpose by appropriate documentation in order to gain access to a
Navy installation. Per references (a) through (d) eligible foreign
nationals, including International Military Students, will be issued a CAC
with a blue stripe. Foreign nationals possessing a CAC with a blue stripe
are limited to accessing only installations where they have an official duty
or other authorized purpose which requires installation access. Dependents
of foreign nationals, if eligible, will receive a Uniform Services
Identification Card (USID), DD Form 1173 that establishes identity only and
they are limited to accessing only installations where they have an
authorized purpose which requires installation access.
3. Responsibilities
a. Commander, Navy Installations Command
(1) No later than 25 February 2020, Navy installations and any
applicable installation associated sites will explicitly register foreign
nationals, to include International Military Students, Foreign Liaison Office
(FLO), Personnel Exchange Program (PEP) personnel, and their dependents, for
access to their assigned duty station and facilitate the process for gaining
access to additional Navy installations, as required. This process will be
executed by each installation via the DBIDS registration workstation, in
coordination with tenant organizations, at each installation or site.
(2) Access Rosters: Upon receipt of the access rosters from tenant
commands hosting foreign nationals currently enrolled in DBIDS, the Visitor
Control Center (VCC)/access control personnel will explicitly grant access
for foreign national personnel and their dependents to their assigned duty
station (VCC personnel should refer to page 72 of the DBIDS User Manual for
this process or the issued DBIDS Explicit Access Guide). The VCC personnel
will notify the foreign nationals host command of any foreign nationals who
cannot be granted explicit access. This may require the foreign national
and/or their dependents, to conduct an in-person DBIDS enrollment at the VCC
with supporting documentation, such as invitational travel orders.
(3) Ensure all foreign nationals possessing a foreign national
credential are processed through the Visitor Control Process (VCP) at the VCC
for their first visit to the installation or issuance of a new credential.
Once purpose is established by completing the VCP they will be enrolled in
the installation/site Physical Action Control System (PACS) for subsequent
base entry.
(4) Per reference (d), installation entry control point personnel
will scan all foreign national credentials when personnel enter the
installation /site.
(5) In the event that the installation/site Physical Access Control
System is inoperable, or an installation/site is not equipped with a PACS,
installations must verify foreign nationals U.S. Government issued
Invitational Travel Orders, certification, other official orders, or other
such documentation (e.g., similar to being able to provide vehicle
registration and insurance documentation upon request) that establishes their
purpose for accessing the intended installation/site.
(6) Ensure installations adhere to the following:
(a) Foreign nationals requiring access for official business to
more than one Navy or DoD installation must have a signed letter, or other
official documentation, issued by the appropriate U.S. Government Official
identifying the purpose for access to the other installation(s); once purpose
is established, foreign nationals will only be afforded access during the
time periods identified in the members documentation for each individual
location.
(b) Verify that unofficial/leisure travel for foreign national
students to other Navy installations is approved in writing by the
responsible International Military Student Office (IMSO) or Commanding
Officer (CO). The foreign national must have the signed letter in their
possession and request access at the VCC.
(c) Per the applicable international agreement, FLOs and PEPs may
be granted explicit access to all Navy installations, which allows them to
travel with their host units in the performance of their duties, as
determined by the responsible contact officer or Co. FLOs and PEPs visiting
installations where not assigned, will be required to report to the
installation VCC with a signed letter, or other official documentation,
issued by the designated contact officer or host CO identifying their purpose
for access.
(d) All foreign nationals on official business will carry their
International Travel Orders, Visitors International Stay Admission (VISA),
applicable international agreement, or other official documentation, on their
person at all times while on the installation, and will present them to
installation/site security forces when requested, for determining the purpose
for access. PEPs and FLOs on official business will carry their
certification, issued pursuant to the applicable international agreement.
(7) The installation CO is the approval authority for all access
requests for that installation. Regional commanders are encouraged to
establish regional processes to facilitate access to other installations
throughout their respective areas of responsibility.
b. Tenant COs and Directors of Navy Activities. In order to minimize
operational impact, adhere to the following:
(1) Access Rosters: No later than 21 February 2020, the IMSO or a
designated officer at Navy Commands hosting foreign nationals will develop a
roster of foreign nationals currently enrolled in DBIDS and assigned to their
respective command, schools, and training courses. This list will be
submitted to the Installation Security Office for review and processing. The
roster will
identify:
(a) The foreign nationals full name
(b) Assigned command
(c) Start/end dates of issued orders
(d) The foreign nationals DoD ID number
(e) Dependents names (if above 18 years old - as applicable)
(f) Dependents DoD ID number
(g) Navy organizational point of contact name, phone number and
DoD ID number (must be a U.S. Government official/sponsor)
(h) Location(s) required
(2) Navy tenant commands responsible for hosting foreign nationals
in the U.S. that are tenant organizations aboard joint bases or other Service
installations/sites will follow with the orders, regulations, and policies of
the host service installation commander.
(3) Ensure assigned foreign nationals always have in their
possession CACs and/or USIDs and their U.S. Government issued Invitational
Travel Orders, certification, other official orders, or other such
documentation (e.g., similar to being able to provide vehicle registration
and insurance documentation upon request) that establishes their purpose for
accessing the intended installation/site.
(4) Ensure that FLOs and PEPs visiting installations where not
assigned, will be required to report to the installation VCC with a signed
letter, or other official documentation, issued by the designated contact
officer or host CO identifying their purpose for access.
(5) Ensure unofficial/leisure travel for foreign national students
to other Navy installations is approved in writing by the responsible IMSO or
CO. The foreign national must have the signed letter in their possession and
request access at the VCC.
(6) Navy tenant commands are responsible for validating,
maintaining, and updating the list of their assigned foreign nationals, and
for ensuring their check-in/check-out processes include the installation VCC
to encourage enrollment upon reporting and disenrollment when detaching.
(7) Tenant commands will maintain lists of foreign nationals for
future data calls in support of installation access control.
(8) All foreign nationals and their authorized dependents traveling
to other Navy installations which they are not assigned to, are required to
obtain approval in writing by the host commander or contact officer and
encouraged to pre-register with the intended installation CO for the planned
visit.
4. Trusted Traveler, Escorting, And Sponsorship. Per reference (d), Trusted
Traveler privilege is prohibited for foreign nationals. Foreign nationals
may not escort or sponsor other persons aboard Navy installations.
5. Applicability. This message applies to all Navy CONUS installations to
include Hawaii and Guam, their associated sites, and Navy owned standalone
facilities. Contents of this NAVADMIN will be incorporated into the next
revision of OPNAVINST 5530.14 and applicable access control policies and may
not be waived.
