CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. -- In response to a directive from the commander, Northern Command, Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River have authorized the resumption of the Trusted Traveler Program effective immediately. The Trusted Traveler Program allows vehicle occupants to be escorted onto the installation by service members, dependents (18 and over) and U.S. Government civilians with a valid DoD ID Card. U.S. Government contractors are not authorized to serve as an escort under the Trusted Traveler Program. Drivers can expect minor delays at all entry gates due to the increased security posture of both installations and random vehicle inspections. The installation commanders reserve the right to increase security measures or suspend the Trusted Traveler Program to ensure our ability to project combat power when and where required.
Drivers are reminded to:
- Ensure sponsored passengers over 18 are prepared to show a U.S. Government form of identification upon request.
Although passengers of DoD-authorized sponsors are generally not required to display an I.D. under the Trusted Traveler Program, gate sentries reserve the right require anyone in the vehicle over the age of 18 to show an official form of ID on request prior to being granted entry onto the installation.
- Pay Attention to Posted Speed Limit Signs
Please be aware of speed limit signs, especially in housing areas and when entering and exiting the installation. Speed limits differ depending on the area's designated use and the amount of pedestrian and vehicle traffic.
- Slow Down at Gates - Active Barrier Systems in Use
When approaching any of installation gates, drivers are required to reduce their speed to 25 mph and be prepared to stop. Barrier systems can be deployed at any time by gate sentries to protect against potential vehicle-borne threats.
