If an ID does not match the person attempting to enter a military facility, what action is required?

• A. Notify the MTI/OOD of the violation and have them stand by
• B. Allow entry after verification
• C. Call security desk and escort
• D. Ignore and proceed

Answer: (A)

When IDs don’t match, treat it as a security issue and escalate to the person in charge of access. The best action is to notify the on-duty authority (MTI/OOD) about the mismatch and have them stand by. This ensures the right person with authority handles verification, possible additional checks, or denial of entry, without compromising security. Allowing entry after a mismatch would bypass safeguards, and ignoring the incident or opting for a quick escort or other steps twists the procedure away from the proper chain of command.
