New – Access controltest slated Wednesday,Feb.11
In the interest of the safety and security of residents, employees and visitors and to
hone our access control process, Emergency Services personnel will conduct an "access
control" test Wednesday, Feb. 11 from 10 a.m. to noon. This will affect the Fort Myer
and Henderson Hall portions of Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall.
This test is aimed at credentialing visitors -- all those who do not qualify for a
Department of Defense ID card.
The Hatfield Gate at Washington Boulevard and South 2nd Street, is the designated
Fort Myer access point for non-DoD ID card holders.
The nature of this test may cause traffic delays for residents and DoD personnel as
they enter or depart Fort Myer and Henderson Hall.
To ease access for residents and other DoD ID card holders, DES recommends they
use the Wright Gate (Marshall Drive at North Meade Street, near the Iwo Jima
Memorial) or Henderson Hall's Gate 1 at Southgate Road and South Orme Street.
For more information, call the Military Police Desk at 703-588-2801.

5. ‘Weingarten’notice tells bargaining unitemployees of their rights
In accordance with U.S. law, each year, JBM-HH managers notify bargaining unit
employees of their “Weingarten” rights. The Weingarten right is based on the U.S.
Supreme Court's private sector labor decision in the National Labor Relations Board
versus J. Weingarten, Inc., 420 U.S. 251 (1975) case which provides that when an agency
representative (to include your IG, your guard/police force or even a representative
from DoD) questions a bargaining unit employee, and the employee reasonably
believes the questioning may result in disciplinary action against that employee and the
employee requests union representation, the employee is generally entitled to
representation if the investigation continues.

JBM-HH accessmeasures to take Non-DoD ID card holdersfirst
The safety and security of all residents, workers and visitors at Joint Base Myer-
Henderson Hall is paramount.
In order to reduce confusion and serve our customers in the best way possible, Joint
Base Myer-Henderson Hall is not requiring Department of Defense ID card holders to
begin to register their DoD ID cards until Friday, May 15. DoD ID card holders consist
of active and reserve component military personnel and their family members; retired
military personnel and their family members; and federal workers.
In the future, we will offer extended registration hours for residents and DoD ID
cardholders only.
In the short term – the aim is to vet and register visitors and contractors who do not
qualify for a DoD ID card – including volunteers, church goers and nannies, for
example. These folks may come on base frequently, although they don’t have a DoD ID
card. Work on vetting this group only will go toward easing traffic back-ups and long
waits for everyone accessing all portions of the joint base (Fort Myer and Henderson
Hall in Virginia, and Fort McNair in the District of Columbia).
In the long term – the aim is to accommodate implementation of an upgraded
Automated Installation Entry system which will actually speed up the entry process.
