Did you know that TSA PreCheck is free for military members
and DoD civilians? Enrolling in the TSA PreCheck program saves travelers
time, eliminating the need to remove shoes, laptops, liquids, belts and
light jackets, cutting the typical security checkpoint wait time to
five minutes or less. TSA PreCheck is available at more than 200
airports around the United States and offered by 85+ airlines.
To access the PreCheck benefits, military members should update their
DTS profile with their DoD ID number in the Known Traveler (KTN) field
and update their airline frequent flyer profiles with their DoD ID
number in the KTN field. When traveling, confirm your DoD ID is in the
KTN field of your reservation. Eligible military members include: active
duty branches of service, reserve components of the U.S. military,
National Guard (both Army and Air), U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Coast
Guard Reserve, Students of the U.S. Military Service Academies (USMA,
USNA, USAFA, USCGA, USMMA),
United States Public Health Service (USPHS) Commissioned Corps, and
NOAA Commissioned Office Corps. Eligible DoD civilians include: Federal
Civil Service Employees and Non-Appropriated Fund (NAF) Civilians.
Be sure to add your TSA PreCheck benefits apply to both TDY official
and R&R (personal) travel when reservations include your KTN (DoD ID
number). Military members do not need to be in uniform to use the TSA
PreCheck benefits.
