Is it possible for my son's mom to get a DOD ID card to get on and off post to take him to the doctors and stuff?

I am leaving on TDY for four months and she wont have any way to get on and off post with my son when he needs to go to the doctors. I heard some places have done it but i dont know if it is an army thing or what. My son is a year and a half old. And his mom and i are not married yet.

So I would do more digging if I was you. Because I was a single parent for many years and my daughter was issued an ID card at the age of 5 because I was deployed. I don't have the time to dig for it, I know this question came up the other month and I put out the regulation but a child can absolutely be issued an ID if the sponsor is deployed/ gone for awhile because that child has rights just like any other dependent child whos sponsor is there able to take care of them.
