19 Mar 15 - Gate Access in April

Question:  Could you please elaborate on the gate access process in April?

Answer: From 1-30 April the Directorate of Emergency Services will close the Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield Visitor Control Centers between the hours of 9 p.m. and 5 a.m.  This measure is being taken to help the Garrison's ability to determine future planning efforts of our Access Control and Visitor Control Measures.  All visitors who have a valid pass or Common Access Card / Military ID to access post unescorted will be able to access post as normal.

Visitors who do not have a valid pass or Common Access Card / Military ID will not be granted unescorted access to the installation and will be required to have a valid Common Access Card / Military ID holder physically meet them at Gate 1 (FS) or the Montgomery Gate (HAAF) for access.  The valid ID Holder will be the visitor's "Sponsor" while on the installation.

Once the sponsor meets their guest at the gate they will be allowed to follow their sponsor in their vehicle to their final destination.  Visitors will be logged onto post once the sponsor arrives at the gate.  The Sponsor will be responsible and held accountable to maintain positive control of those they escort on and off the installation.  Sponsors are also responsible for the personal conduct of their visitors. 

Only valid Sponsors 18 and older will be allow to sponsor Guests/Visitors during this time period.  Up to five visitors will be allowed per sponsor.

Sponsors who fail to obey this directive could lose the privilege of sponsoring future guests or visitors. 

Your cooperation and patience is requested during this time period.  For questions or concerns relating to this Test Phase please contact Art Weston, Chief of Physical Security at (912) 767-1183
