Redstone Arsenal implements ‘enhanced security measures’ at gates

HUNTSVILLE — Anyone who works on Redstone Arsenal will face delays to enter the installation due to “enhanced security measures” announced Friday.

According to Garrison Command, enhanced security measures have been implemented at all military installations, including Redstone Arsenal. The measures include the temporary suspension of Facial Recognition, Radio Frequency Identification and the Trusted Traveler Program.

“Effective immediately, every individual in the vehicle will need an agency identification card to gain access to Redstone Arsenal,” Garrison Command said. “Those who do not have an agency ID Card (DoD, DoJ, Homeland, NASA, etc.) will need to go through the Visitor Control Center at Gate 9 on Rideout Road.

“Commuters should make arrangements in advance for this situation and allow for extra time when accessing Redstone Arsenal, especially during high-traffic times. As always, our community’s safety is a shared responsibility.”

Report suspicious activity to Counterintelligence SE Region 1 at: www.inscom.army.mil/isalute/ or call 800-225-5779.
