20. How do Industry Reps gain access to Nellis AFB?
The Trade Show POC will develop an Entry Access List (EAL) for all Industry reps who do not have a valid military ID card (Retired or an active CaC). You must have a Real ID with no exceptations to gain access to Nellis AFB.. The following information will be required to be placed on the EAL: full name, date of birth, social security number, driver license - state and number, Company representing, email address and arrival/departure dates. All EAL submittals must be done prior to 1 January 2026. Late adds will be at the descrition of the Nellis Security Police and their workload. Please ensure none of your folks have anything in their background that would cause them to be denied access (criminal record - ect). This also applies to build up teams you contract with as all their folks must be on the EAL. Please coordinate this information to them. Again ensure they have submitted their personnel NLT 1 Jan 2026 and have pre-vetted them. Please HELP yourself by doing this as early as possible.
FOREIGN NATIONALS: "If you are a resident of another country and in the U.S. as a permanent resident, or work authorization of some form, please include your 9 digit Alien Registration number in addition to your submission. It will read on your INS Card as "USCIS#. If you do not have a USCIS# download the FOREIGN VISIT REQUEST FORM for Nellis AFB at the bottom of this page and submit it to tradeshow@weptac.com so it can be signed by Col (Ret) Jacob R. Hamilton and provided to the base Security police. THIS MUST BE COMPLETED NLT 1 JANUARY 2026 OR YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS NELLIS AFB as the OSI will not have time to vet your request. Please provide all data requested or your application cannot be validated! Please ensure you have all forms completed and signed by you before submitting for Col (Ret) Jacob R. Hamilton to sign and forward to the Nellis OSI. Look for a return email from him to ensure he has received your request. If after your submittal a couple of days have passed and you have not heard from him please resubmit and notify him by email or phone call (866-681-4069).
To obtain access you must be on the EAL. The following link (www.weptac.com/WEPTACTRADESHOWEAL.html) will give you access to a SECURE SITE to provide requested data. Information will only be shared with the 99 Air Base Wing Security Police so they can validate those on the EAL against the National Data Base. Individual should proceed to the gate; identify themselves to the guard on duty as participating in the WEPTAC Trade Show at the Nellis club. One's driver’s license (Real ID ONLY) will be compared to the name on the EAL for validation, (Passport for Foreign Nationals). Those with a valid military ID card and validation on the EAL will allow you access to Nellis AFB. Please ensure the data you provide is accurate as this past year over 40 folks could not be validated (many were late submittals) and were denied access. In most cases it was due to the wrong info provided (DOB or drivers license mainly). Again HELP yourself by submitting your request as early as possible. If you experience any difficulties, please call the Trade Show POC.
