Beginning Jan. 15, 2015, Department of the Army Security Guards (DASG) manning the TAMC gate will no longer accept the TAMC hospital badge as a form of ID for access. Tripler Army Medical Center (TAMC) staff will be required to show their Common Access Card (CAC), Government Military Identification Card (ID), or a Veterans Affairs PIV card to access the TAMC installation. All contractors working on the installation who do not possess the required IDs will need to obtain the Installation Access Pass (IAP) and have already been notified. To ease the transition, Department of Emergency Services (DES) will establish an IAP section at TAMC for two months prior to the cutoff date to issue the contractor IAP beginning, Nov. 15, 2014 in room 3B304 between the hours of 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Personnel who have not obtained an IAP by the Jan. 15, 2015 deadline, must do so at the Leilehua IPA office located near the Mililani Tech Park. Veterans that do not possess a VA PIV may still access the installation by using their VA issued ID card or obtaining a day pass from the Visitor Control Center (VCC) located on the right, just pass the TAMC gate, in-bound. Passengers riding the city bus without the proper ID for installation access will be required to disembark the bus at the TAMC gate and embark after the bus completes all stops on the TAMC route. Traffic will stop to allow passengers to safely board the bus at the gate. The change in policy is a US Army Garrison requirement along with Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12. This measure will bring the TAMC campus in line with installation access security mandates. For questions, please contact TAMC Provost Marshal office at 433-1111/5914.
