Access Requirements Bicyclists Pedestrians Joint Base Myer-Henderson
1. Access Requirements for Bicyclists and Pedestrians
Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall
Joint Base Myer-Henderson recognizes the enjoyment and health benefits of bicycling. As a
community member, we want to ensure that riders are safely traveling in and around our base.
Bicyclists (who are not DoD-ID card holders) who commute or wish to ride through the Fort
Myer and Henderson Hall portions of Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall have the opportunity to be
vetted in order to receive an Automated Installation Entry (AIE) pass at the Visitor Control Center
(VCC) at Fort Myer’s Military Police Station, Building 415. Hours of operation are between 8 a.m.
to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday; closed for lunch between 12:30 p.m. to 1 p.m.; closed
Saturday and Sunday. In August 2015, we anticipate extended weekday and weekend hours.
To register for an AIE Pass, a JBM-HH access request form must be filled out and dropped off in
person at the VCC. View and print the pass at https://e.afit.edu/700049X9OCH (copy and paste
this link into your web browser). At this time, pass applications cannot be accepted online due to
the Personally Identifiable Information (PII) that is required to complete the form.
There are two types of AIE passes that may be issued:
A “sponsored” AIE pass is good for one year. This requires the registrant to be sponsored
by someone who has a DoD ID card.
A “non-sponsored” AIE pass is good for 60 days. Anyone holding a “non-sponsored” AIE
pass is subject to search.
After the completed and signed form has been turned in at the VCC, please allow three business
days for processing. Registrants should retain a copy of the signed access request form for their
records; copies will not be provided at the VCC. If approved, a member of the VCC staff will notify
the registrant.
The registrant will need to return to the VCC to have his or her photo taken and be
fingerprinted. The AIE pass will be issued at this time. Registrants will also be notified if they fail
the background check.
After a bicyclist receives an AIE pass, he or she will be allowed access through any of the three
JBM-HH gates on the Fort Myer and Henderson Hall portions of the base:
Hatfield Gate at Washington Boulevard and South 2nd Street
Wright Gate at Marshall Drive and North Meade Street
Henderson Hall Gate 1 at Southgate Road and South Orme Street
The vetting, access request and pass renewal processes will be the same for pedestrians who
wish to access Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall. All bicyclists and pedestrians will still be required
to carry a valid photo ID along with their AIE pass and may be asked to present the valid ID at any
time. Once an AIE pass has expired, the pass holder will be required to re-register by filling out
and submitting a new JBM-HH access request form and repeat the vetting process.
Registrants may email questions to usarmy.jbmhh.asa.mbx.des-access-q-a@mail.mil. Please
allow up to 3 business days for an email response.
2. All bicyclists are required to follow the JBM-HH rules of the road:
Wear an approved helmet that meets or exceeds American National Standards Institute or
Snell Memorial Foundation Standards for bicycle helmets.
Obey all traffic signals, signs and devices except when dismounted, at which time the rules
pertaining to pedestrians will apply.
Ride single file when vehicle traffic is present. Bicyclists may not ride more than two
abreast.
Ensure the bicycle is equipped with a front clear reflector and red rear reflector if in
operation from one-half hour before sunset to one-half hour after sunrise. Bicyclists will
wear a reflective upper outer garment during hours of reduced visibility.
Do not wear or use headphones, earphones or cell phones while riding a bicycle.
