The Annex Gate to access NRL Monterey is controlled and enforced by Naval Support Activity Monterey Police Department (NSA-Monterey).

ALL VISITORS (GUESTS, VENDORS, ETC.) REQUESTING UNESCORTED ACCESS MUST BE VETTED PRIOR TO BEING GRANTED ENTRY ONTO THE INSTALLATION.

The most reliable method to ensure the guest(s) is (are) granted access through the Gate is for a Federal sponsor escort them on personally.

United States Military Active and their dependents, Retired military and Civil Service members who possess valid DoD identification cards are Trusted Agents. A Trusted Agent and all occupants in the Trusted Agent's automobile can enter the base if the Trusted Agent shows a valid DoD ID card at an the gate or if they escort them via a pedestrian gate.

Occupants in a Trusted Agent's automobile or walking aboard with a Trusted Agent do not have to sign in at the gate, but must stay with their sponsor at all times and be escorted to the NRL MRY Security office to recieve a badge.

Trusted Agent applies only to U.S. Active duty and their dependents/retired military, Reservist and Civil service employees with U.S. DoD ID cards.
