[OOC: Perhaps I haven't been clear enough, and if so my bad.
The soldiers are lying. They are not making a routine check. And their rifle shouldn't be unslung. Whether your ID is good enough to pass inspection is irrelevant.
These informations I didn't give you; they are still 30 feet away from you. You are midway between the lab and the administrative building. You are over open ground, but the tents are 30 feet to your left (south of the lab and admin building. Your jeep is on the other side of tent area which is almost 1000 feet deep. It is, however, heavily crowded with plenty of cover. There is a parking for the staff behind the admin building. That's about 200 feet around, less if you rush through the building. Do these cars have their keys in the ignition? Neither of you remember (5 + 4 for luddite, 3 + ? for Kim)
