The ROB-MC Gate VCC is located at Bldg. 800 and is open 7-days a week from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Sponsors who fail to uphold their sponsorship responsibilities are subject to the suspension of sign-in privileges.

Visitors are required to present a Valid Passport or a National ID card (European Economic Area (EEA) citizen only) to be issued a visitor pass.

Visitors aged 15 and below are not required to present a valid ID for base entry but must be escorted onto the installation by an authorized adult with a DoD CAC or DBIDS ID card and sign-in privileges. Additionally, children aged 10-15 may need to present proof of age at the Security Forces members discretion for validation.

Visitor Passes will not be issued for more than 24 Hours unless extenuating circumstances exist, or official business is determined.

Individuals who hold citizenship of a country listed on the State Sponsors of Terrorism List published by the U.S. Department of State will not be issued a pass until an exception to policy has been routed and approved by the 86 AW Commander. It is recommended that this coordination be completed prior to the arrival of guest(s).
