Barment - Base Access Denial

When responding to or appealing a barment letter it is important to have an experienced counsel on your side. Federal criminal law prohibits individuals from entering on a military base unless otherwise authorized. See 18 U.S.C. 1382. The maximum punishment is fine, and confinement for not more than 6 months or both.  

Questions and Answers

Who is typically denied access to a military base?

Civilians who may pose a threat to the military community on base are likely to be denied base access. This includes contractors, dependents, and family members.

What are my rights?

Generally, you have a right to be notified of barment, right to review evidence against you, right to provide responses, and right to a fair and impartial consideration.

What happens if I violate my barment letter?

Violating base access denials may lead to criminal prosecution for trespassing on a military base. This could include a federal conviction and confinement or both.

Do I have a right to be on a military base?

No, your presence on a military base is entirely discretionary. However all agency decisions must be fair, supported by evidence and follow the applicable laws and regulations.

I received a barment letter - what now?

You may consider retaining an experienced military counsel to assisting you with preparing persuasive responses and submissions and developing evidence to support your arguments explaining why you should be granted base access.

BARMENT - BASE ACCESS DENIAL

base access denial barment appeal

Ever since the 2013 Washington Navy Yard shooting where 12 people were killed, the Department of Defense has implemented new directives and regulations to better control and manage base access, and to allow for barment appeals. An experienced counsel will help you to navigate the rules, meet deadlines, and develop facts in mitigation, extenuation and rebuttal.

DOD Manual - Physical Security Program: Access to DOD Installations

This manual establishes numerous criteria determining fitness or unfitness to enter on a military installation and how to appeal barment letters and base access denials.

Barment - Base Access Fitness / Unfitness Criteria

Individuals may receive a barment letter and base access denial notifications if:

- they are listed on the National Terrorist Watch List

- they are illegally in the United States

- there is an outstanding criminal warrant of any type

- their business pass application contains false information

- they had a felony conviction in the last 10 years

- they are a registered sex offender

- they have been found guilty of felonies of sexual, gang-related, supremacist, extremist, or violent nature

- they have been found guilty of drug related crimes

- they have been denied access/barred

- they received a dishonorable or bad conduct discharge

- they have engaged in any other behavior that may cause concern for physical security or environment of the base

Adverse Consequences of Access Denial:

Base access denials may have serious consequences. This may include:

- early return of dependents

- being unable to access retired benefits

- being unable to access VA benefits

- being unable to work on base

- being unable to live on base

- being unable to contribute to the military community on base

An experienced counsel will assist you in providing comprehensive responses and legal analysis to allow each base commander to understand your particular situation and why you should be granted relief.
