• Be sponsored by a DoD/Veteran-affiliated individual

Only an active-duty DoD member (or someone eligible, e.g. veteran with a valid ID) can sponsor a civilian visit.

The sponsor must submit a request for you to the base’s Visitor Control Center (VCC) at least 3 duty days before your planned visit.

• Or join a scheduled group tour or official event

The base occasionally offers public tours (group-tours) — typically once a week (often on Thursdays). Tours are ~4 hours and aim at groups of 15–40 people (e.g. school groups, civic organizations).
