This is the comment heard more and more around Hill AFB today as the Pacer Protect program gets under way. "A badge is a badge, is a badge." Depending on the area you wish to enter, badge requirements on Hill AFB vary widely. Following is a description of some of the badges being worn on base: Controlled Area: This is an area which, due to its sensitivity, requires more than the normal everyday security afforded to the base in general. The owneruser of the area controls entry by requiring the "Controlled Area Badge." This badge, Air Force Form 1201 or 1202, is required for entering "controlled areas." It has the specific designated area showing on the badge and should be removed when leaving the area. Also, if entry to more than one designated area is required, all designators will be shown on the badge. Presently,, any valid Controlled Area badge, whether it has an open "DD" on it or not, is the proper identification needed, along with an official reason, to enter the Pacer Protect Area. However, in the near future, all controlled area badges will re- ' :qilireait"'6pe1tl DD"' to gain access to the Controlled eruser of the Controlled Area makes the determiArea DD (Pacer Protect) area.

Temporary Badges for Controlled Areas: These are temporary badges issued to personnel who would normally qualify for a Controlled Area badge but do not require continuing entry into the specific area. Members wearing this badge do not require escort while in the controlled area. Visitor Badge for Controlled Areas: This badge is for visitors who are visiting the controlled area. Wearers must be escorted at all times. The escort is usually a person designated by the owneruser of the Controlled Area.
