Whether visiting for work, friends, or family, the 18th Security Forces Squadron Pass and Registration, located at the entrance of Kadena AB Gate 1, should be the first stop for those needing access to the base. Handling everything from passes to restricted area badges, the airmen and civilians working at the Pass and Registration Office want to be of service.
