Camp Pendleton Adds RAPID-RCx Program To Increase Access Security

New Program Authenticates Credentials for Visitors Accessing the Installation

U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton will be the first installation to implement the RAPID-RCx™ Program, beginning in mid August.

Eid Passport, Inc., the leader in secure vendor access management, developed the RAPID-RCx Program to further increase security at military installations while providing quick entry for individuals who require routine access. The RAPID-RCx Program will enable Camp Pendleton force protection personnel to scan and authenticate U.S. and Canadian Driver Licenses; U.S. Department of Motor Vehicle identification cards; and RAPIDGate Credentials with a single mobile handheld device at each gate.

“For Camp Pendleton, the RAPID-RCx Program serves as another integral layer of a fully integrated access solution that addresses multiple populations requiring access to military installations and government facilities,” said Steve Larson, CEO of Eid Passport. “The streamlined access process that the RAPID-RCx Program provides reduces the administrative costs, burden and associated errors of manually verifying an individual’s credential status.”

The RAPID-RCx Program at Camp Pendleton will utilize the existing technology and program infrastructure of the RAPIDGate Program already implemented on base. RAPIDGate Program participants will follow the same access procedures they have enjoyed prior to the implementation of the RAPID-RCx Program.

The first two months of the program will be a transition period while force protection personnel learn the new equipment and access procedures.
