Military Base Entrance

Armed Services Exchange Regulations

Auxiliary ID

Periodically Coast Guard Auxiliary members visit military installations.  Presenting the Coast Guard Auxiliary Member ID is usually sufficient to permit entrance onto the base as well as purchase of items through the Base Exchange.  If security asks for more than the Member ID, presentation of a copy of page 10-7, Section B.2. of the Coast Guard Auxiliary Manual along with a copy of the Department of Defense (DoD) Instruction number 1330.21 should be sufficient.  If with this additional documentation security does not permit entrance to the base, through the Chain of Leadership, please let the Director of the Auxiliary (DirAux) know the base involved along with the security Point of Contact address so that the issue may be addressed by the Director.
