Planning a Visit

Pre-Trip Information

Did you notify your POC?

You must coordinate with your AFRL DSRC Point of Contact (POC) before planning your trip. Whenever possible, allow at least 5 working days for your visit to be authorized. Please do not arrive at the AFRL DSRC without notification.

Do you hold a security clearance or NAC (National Agency Check)?

If so, have your security office forward a Visit Request (VR) on your behalf using the SMO Code below:

DISS SMO Code: WE1MFRY76

Visitor Request Form Fill-in-the-Block Tips for DISS

  • For new visit requests in DISS, add "RCM" in the "visit name" and add the purpose of the visit in "Visit Notes". Not following these steps may delay approving your visit.
  • "To" - Name of Sponsor and Telephone Number
  • "Length of Visit" - If you anticipate multiple visits within a year, make your length of visit a year.
  • "Purpose" - In comments, clearly indicate building areas (e.g. Classroom) and/or network access (i.e. what type of computer access), along with your specific visit purpose.

Are you a Foreign National (non-U.S. citizen)?

If so, have your AFRL DSRC sponsor contact afrl.rcm.security@us.af.mil at least 30 days prior to your visit.
