Visitor Control Center


gate pictureWelcome to the Gowen Field Visitor Control Center, the Gateway to the Guard! We want you to have a great and safe visit to our base. The Gowen Field Visitor Control Center is the one stop shop for base access. Gowen Field is a closed installation, which means, you have to have the three keys to base access:

    • A military sponsor
    • Proof of your identity
    • Meet the Gowen Field background requirements

If you have any questions about our requirements please contact us.


NOTICE: Beginning May 7, 2025, all visitors will be required to present an Idaho Star Card identification to enter Gowen Field. Visit the Idaho Transportation Department website for more information.
