Troop Talk
Beginning 5 a.m. Monday, Fort Bliss will re-implement the 100 percent identification requirement at all access control points. This action is intended to enhance the safety and security of Fort Bliss and also to prepare the installation for future technology improvements at the access control points.
This change requires all vehicle occupants to present a valid form of government- or state-issued photo identification to access the installation. Drivers in possession of a military-affiliated identification will no longer be authorized to vouch for other vehicle occupants.
Minors under the age of 18 are not required to provide identification, as long as they are accompanied by an adult and are not operating the vehicle. All other existing access control requirements remain unchanged and in effect.
Although there is no anticipation that this requirement will significantly impact wait times at access control points, it is advised that you give yourself additional time during your commute if you are accessing the installation during high-volume times.
