When an on-base individual attempts to depart, which lane is primarily involved in Stop-Check-Pass?

• A. Inbound lane
• B. Parking lot
• C. Outbound lane
• D. Both lanes

Answer: (C)

Stop-Check-Pass is a security step used on individuals who are leaving a controlled area to verify their authorization before they depart. When someone on base intends to depart, security personnel stop them at the gate momentarily, check their ID and credentials, confirm they have permission to leave, and issue clearance to proceed. This process is aimed at controlling outbound movement and preventing unauthorized exit or missing/contraband from leaving the base. The outbound lane is the main location for this procedure because it handles traffic as you depart the base. Inbound traffic, which is entering the base, has its own entry checks but is not the primary channel for Stop-Check-Pass when the goal is to supervise departures. The parking lot is not where this gate-side security check typically occurs. Some bases may use both lanes for different purposes, but for departures the outbound lane is the primary one involved.
