ARNOLD AIR FORCE BASE, TENN. -- Due to the large number of personnel who will require Common Access Card (CAC) renewals during the contract transitions at AEDC, the Visitor Center has opened an additional Real-Time Automated Personnel Identification System (RAPIDS) processing location.

Room B-108 in the Administration and Engineering building (bldg. 100) is the location for the additional RAPIDS which began operations on June 15.

To complete the CAC renewal process, personnel must schedule an appointment after they receive an email from the Trusted Agent Sponsorship System (TASS) stating that approval was granted for CAC renewal. The Visitor Center will schedule appointments for the additional location. AEDC personnel must request an appointment by emailing Arnold.VisitorCenter@us.af.mil.

This location will remain operational through Sept. 30 and it is only for AEDC personnel including military, DOD civilians and contractors. If personnel need assistance entering locked entry doors to bldg. 100, they may call 454-7454.

All other individuals such as retirees, dependents and persons not assigned to AEDC must report to the Visitor Center located beside the Complex main gate for card issuance.
