UAH Research Security - Army Badging Procedures

Army Badging Procedures

If, as a requirement of the U.S. Army contract under which you are working, you will require access to Redstone Arsenal and the Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) facilities on a recurring and continuing basis, you may be eligible to obtain a Personnel Identification Badge. The Personnel Identification Badge Request Form (SAM Form 1116) may be obtained from our office. We provide a copy of this form online merely so that you know what the form looks like. The online version may not be used to complete this badge application process. Take proof of ownership and proof of insurance for the vehicle with you when you go to the AMCOM Badging Office (Bldg. 3423, Redstone Arsenal) to have your badge made. A reprint of a Redstone Rocket article by Beth Skarupa explains this requirement.

You will need Acrobat Reader 5.0 to view the SAM 1116. Download Acrobat Reader 5.0 here.
