NEWS:  Force Protection Gate Requirements for DoD Decals and ID Card

Possessing a DoD Form 2220 "Department of Defense Registered Vehicle" Decal alone does not authorize the use of Washington Gate, or the DoD ‘express’ lanes of Stony Lonesome and Thayer Gates. In order to utilize these lanes, personnel will need to display the decals AND show proper identification for the driver and occupants of the vehicle over the age of 16 years.

Proper Identification Criteria: Personnel coming through the DoD lanes will display either the DD Form 2 style ID cards for military personnel and their sponsored family members, or in any other case, a CAC card.
