No more vehicle stickers required at Scott AFB

To the joy of some and sadness of others, the 375th Airlift Wing commander is eliminating the requirement to display a base decal, officially known as the DD Form 2220, to enter Scott Air Force Base. Effective immediately, Scott will no longer require vehicle operators to register their vehicles or display a decal on their vehicle to enter the base. New decals will still be available for our customers needing them for access to other DoD installations through May 2008.

The Air Force Chief of Staff recently sent guidance allowing installation commanders to determine the specific need for vehicle registration at their location. Historically, base decals were mandated for all privately owned vehicles operating on the installation; however, changes to base access control procedures along with mandated identification checks for 100 percent of vehicles entering the installation now make the decal requirement redundant while contributing little to enhancing security. Locally, elimination of the vehicle registration requirement will save thousands of dollars and hundreds of man-hours spent issuing decals and registering vehicles. This means personnel authorized base access no longer have to register vehicles or get a pass if operating a vehicle without a decal. All together, this will drive less administrative and cost burden for the AF and more convenience for the customer without decreasing installation security.

Although vehicle operators are no longer required to register their vehicles on base, all other requirements including valid drivers license, insurance, and state registration remain the same. Drivers may remove the stickers or continue to display the decal if they chose. For more information call the 375th Security Forces Squadron Pass and Registration Office at 256-2709.
