NAVAL AIR STATION PATUXENT RIVER, Md. – NAS Patuxent River has instituted a 100 % ID check policy for all personnel entering the base. While the Trusted Traveler Program remains in effect, all vehicle passengers must present valid state or federal government ID in order to gain entry to the base.
This is an added security measure intended to protect the personnel and assets of NAS Patuxent River. NAS Pax River appreciates the patience of our mission partners and community while we maintain safety on the installation.

Will they be implementing stronger reactions for ‘gate-runners’, compared to past incidents? Yelling, “Hey, stop!”…then relying on the mobile units to locate a vehicle they never saw hasn’t worked out so well in the past. If it has, they sure haven’t publicized it.
Better yet, How about opening Gate 3 during peak times, lunch and 1500?
