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.
