All military installations, including the Rock Island Arsenal, are under enhanced security measures. The Trusted Traveler Program is temporarily suspended; all passengers within a vehicle must present a Department of Defense (DOD) Identification Card to enter the premises. Individuals lacking a DoD ID Card are required to secure a pass from the Visitor Welcome Center, presenting either a REAL ID or two forms of photo identification, along with knowing their Social Security number. With these changes, the Arsenal advises allowing additional travel time, particularly during peak periods, to accommodate the new security measures. Remember, the community’s safety is a collective effort; any unusual activity should be reported to the installation’s security forces at 309-782-6627.
