JOINT BASE MYER-HENDERSON HALL, Va. -
Automated Installation Entry (AIE II Plus) system upgrades are being tested during this time and are likely to continue through mid-August.

Although system testing will be transparent to most, personnel who enter the Fort Myer and Henderson Hall portions of Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall may see delays, especially accessing Fort Myer’s Wright Gate and Henderson Hall’s Gate 1. Everyone is encouraged to allow for extra time to get through the gates.

Drivers and pedestrians who are DoD ID cardholders, AIE cardholders and AIE paper pass holders accessing those gates will be instructed to use the electronic pedestal to have their ID cards/AIE pass scanned; the cards may also be scanned on hand-held devices. Testing now will minimize delays in the long run.

Note that the printed, DoD ID cards of military retirees that bear a Social Security Number (SSN) are not recognized by the AIE II Plus System, so access using this ID card could take longer than necessary.

Although not mandatory, replacing an ID card that has an SSN with a new card that bears a DoD number has a couple of benefits:

First, the AIE II Plus system will “read” the data better and faster.

Most importantly, Personally Identifiable Information (PII) cannot be tapped into if a DoD-numbered ID is lost or stolen. If an ID card with an SSN on it is stolen, PII can be accessed and compromised.

See https://e.afit.edu/730244XAKFS for more information on the Department of Defense SSN reduction program.

Reminder: When a contract ends or a contractor departs JBM-HH, the Common Access Card (CAC) issued them from the joint base is no longer valid and must be retrieved by the sponsoring government organization, according to Don Draper, security manager for the joint base. A CAC is also revoked within the ID card infrastructure when it is reported lost or stolen. The one card for one person policy is an accountability issue, Draper said. The safety, security and wellbeing of all military personnel, residents, Department of Defense civilians and visitors is the first order of business every day at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall.
