Department of Defense

Credentialing processes are used to control access to Department of Defense and other military facilities and can be updated to align with modern security standards.

Access to the Pentagon and comparable military installations is generally treated as a privilege rather than a legal right, allowing authorities to impose rules and conditions on entry and behavior within those facilities.

The Department of Defense can revoke or deny press credentials for unauthorized access to, attempted unauthorized access to, or unauthorized disclosure of classified information or information designated as controlled unclassified information.
