This information collection allows the Army and Air Force Exchange Service (the Exchange), which operates retail stores on military installations, to conduct required background checks on its business partners and their employees. Before a person can work on a military base or access its computer systems, they must first pass a security screening. This process gathers the necessary personal information to conduct an official government background investigation. The information is also used to issue the required ID cards for base access, which is an essential step in protecting the safety of the entire military community.
