Due to ongoing operations in the Middle East, the commander of U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) has directed all installations to implement heightened security measures at all entry gates until further notice. These measures include but are not limited to100% ID checks, random vehicle inspections, and the suspension of the Trusted Traveler Program until further notice.
The Trusted Traveler Program previously allowed DoD-affiliated sponsors to vouch for vehicle occupants for installation access. At this time, all unvetted visitors must report to the installation visitor center (Pass & ID) to request access.
For additional information on installation access procedures, please visit: Pass & ID.
Drivers should plan for delays, as well as possible random inspections at all access control points and gates. These enhanced security measures are being implemented to safeguard our service members, civilians, and families, while ensuring our continued ability to generate and project combat power at the time and place of our Nation’s choosing.
U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Aaron Smith, an expeditionary firefighting and rescue specialist assigned to Aircraft, Rescue, and Firefighting (ARFF), Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, ensures the Marines within his unit undergo consistent training to become well equipped to fight the next fire.

On flight lines, a number of hazards are presented by foreign object debris, or FOD, that threaten the safety of personnel, equipment, and aircraft. To minimize such risks, Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point has shifted from the protocol of physically picking up debris to a more efficient method of blowing it away. The shift not only accelerates the removal of hazardous objects but also enhances safety by reducing potential damage to aircraft and ensuring a cleaner, safer working environment for all personnel on the flight line.
