When you arrive at your new installation, you’ll need to follow installation-specific procedures. Each installation and service handles in-processing differently. Here, you can find installation-specific guidelines and a list of documents to bring with you when checking- in. Reach out to the contacts provided if you have specific questions.
In-processing is done on an individual basis at Bldg 246, 427 Liberty Dr. Service members must bring all personnel, medical and financial records when in-processing.
Student pilots to include Reserve, Guard and foreign exchange student pilots will bring in-processing documents to the 47th Student Squadron Transition Office prior to in-processing with the Military Personnel Flight.
The main gate to Laughlin AFB is the WEST gate. This is where all entry traffic is directed, and also where the Visitor Control Center is located. The North gate is only operational for exit traffic in the afternoon on Monday through Friday, and in the event of a West gate closure.

First visit for veterans and caregivers (VHIC)
Upon the first visit to the installation, all Veterans and Caregivers must stop at the Visitor Center during regular hours of operation. Veterans and Caregivers may enroll for recurring access, which would allow them to proceed to the gate for entry upon subsequent visits without having to stop again at the Visitor Control Center.
As is the case with all other individuals seeking access to DoD installations, all eligible Veterans and Caregivers must pass a basic on-the-spot background check prior to enrolling into the DBIDS system. Veterans and Caregivers with felony convictions, felony arrest warrants, or other types of derogatory information related to criminal history or terrorism may not be permitted entry.
