Security Measures & Entering Fort Dix
In order to assist Department of
Defense Police / Fort Dix with its military base security and gate entry
procedures, please review and cooperate with the following guidelines:
*** As your vehicle approaches the gate, please have your Drivers Licence, Vehicle
Registration and Vehicle Insurance Card in hand and ready for police
officers to identify you and all adult occupants. All adult passengers in
the vehicle will be required to produce a photo ID. This will expedite
entry.
*** You must use the Special Events entry gates at the south end of
the base, as identified in the travel directions on the website. Be aware
that Fort Dix may periodically open a second
auxiliary gate near the main Special Events gate to accommodate entry
flow; watch the traffic signs.
*** Police officers should have a roster from each participating
team, listing each player and each adult in your team's party. Be
prepared to identify your vehicle's team affiliation by club/team name,
age and gender, and the names of all occupants in your vehicle. Also, be
prepared to open your vehicle's trunk space if requested; all vehicles
are subject to search.
*** Please note that different individuals identify the same team
in numerous ways: by club name, by team name, by initials, by nickname,
etc. Police personnel are not expected to know youth soccer trivia, and
need to be provided a consistently recognizable name. It is suggested that
you check the way your team name is listed online (accessed from the
Tournament Homepage). This is the way the team name has been provided to
Gate Personnel.
*** Upon entering the base, please go directly to the playing
fields. Please do not drive around the base unnecessarily. Do not move
any traffic cones. Vehicles and individuals found outside of
designated playing field and parking areas are subject to arrest, fines
and imprisonment. We will provide
a good food court which will offer something for everyone. We are
trying to assist the base by keeping everyone affiliated with our event
in one area.
*** Note that these base entry procedures will apply every time
that you pass through the gates. (If your vehicle gets its windshield
marked upon entry, it is to identify the vehicle as a Special Events
guest while on base, and not necessarily to change gate procedures upon
future re-entries.)
*** Please exit the base from the same gate that you entered.
*** Since it may take a little extra time to gain access onto the
base, please arrive a bit earlier than normal. We recommend arriving at
the gate at least 20 minutes before you would normally plan on arriving
for pre-game warm-ups. The team representative conducting registration
and in possession of the team player passes should be particularly aware
of this consideration.

FAQs
Why
can we only enter Fort
Dix through one
gate?
The
gate is staffed with personnel familiar with the soccer event going on,
and traffic can be directed directly to the event without impacting other
base activities.
Why are there
traffic cones blocking off certain roads?
In
order to regulate traffic flow within permitted areas, certain roads are
blocked off during an event. NEVER move a traffic cone, or try to enter a
road that has been closed off.
Who
must present a picture id?
All
adults should bring a valid picture id to enter Fort Dix. If you are unsure whether a person
needs a valid picture id, err on the side of caution and bring one.
Youth
visitors are not required to present an id. However, we do recommend that if they
have a picture id, again, err on the side of caution and bring it.
What
is an acceptable picture id?
Valid
picture identifications include a photo id drivers’ license or a
passport.
What happens if an adult does not have
a photo driver’s license or a passport?
You
will need to present two forms of valid identification, one must be a
photo (e.g., military id photo and non photo driver’s license) that are
acceptable to the guard at the control center. The safest approach is to
use either a valid photo driver’s license or passport.
What
should I do if I have any questions?
Direct
your questions to the MAPS / MSSL office at 732-940-5599 or email bohdan@mssl.org
What should I do in an emergency situation
during the tournament (only)?
Try
calling 973-698-6655 or 732-309-5710. But base personnel can usually
provide adequate assistance.
