Additionally, DOD must maintain guidance regarding the granting of unescorted access to military installations in the United States for specified individuals (e.g., civilian employees of DOD) and ensure the guidance is circulated to the commanders of each military installation. DOD must ensure each military installation in the United States has a designated main entrance that is manned by at least one member of the Armed Forces (or civilian employee of DOD) at all times.

Finally, DOD must periodically review the standards and guidance related to access to military installations and make updates as needed.
