Special Function Forms

 

Guests ARE subject to a criminal background check prior to access onto the installation. Guests with unfavorable information WILL BE DENIED access to the installation.

 

WHAT IS SPONSORING?

Sponsorship allows approved individuals affiliated with Department of Defense (DoD) to take responsibility for verifying and authorizing an applicant’s need for a Visitor Pass or Bellows Special Function Guest List. A Visitor Pass can be acquired from our Base Defense Operations Center (BDOC) located at Bldg. 220/Reservations between the hours of 0800 – 2200. From 2200 – 0800 a Visitor Pass may be obtained from the Installation Gate. You must complete a Special Function Agreement with our BDOC personnel to be granted a Special Function Guest List for applicable areas/events.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO SPONSOR GUESTS?

WHAT IS ESCORTING?

Escort authority allows an individual, with an authorized form of identification that certifies he/she has been successfully identity proofed and favorably vetted, to vouch for any vehicle occupants (up to 10 personnel per DoD ID Cardholder) entering the installation or pedestrians if walking through a pedestrian gate, and escort them onto an installation without identity proofing, vetting or pass issuance. This is widely known as the Trusted Traveler procedure. Trusted Traveler procedures are conducted between the hours of 0800 – 2200 for Bellows AFS.
