At a glance.

Fort Belvoir is an Army installation in Fairfax County on the Potomac River. Its community includes many defense and federal tenant organizations, each with a specific workplace and reporting chain. [2]

Camp Humphreys and Fort Humphreys are historical names for this Virginia installation. They should not be confused with the present-day Camp Humphreys in South Korea. [1]

Each detail has its own dated source. Confirm current procedures and availability with the responsible organization.

Life around your next station

Moving & living.

Start with your sponsor and the installation’s official newcomer resources. Confirm the arrangements that apply to your household before you travel.

Confirm the reporting destination

Soldiers report to their assigned unit before Welcome Center processing. The newcomer page identifies the Welcome Center at 9625 Middleton Road, Building 1189; confirm the unit’s sequence before travel.

Reporting instructions

Arrange access with the sponsor

Check the actual gate and visitor process before arrival. An airport terminal, lodging reservation or map pin does not grant military access.

Official installation resources

Set up housing support

The military Housing Services Office and the Villages at Belvoir have different roles. Ask about community lease assistance, eligibility and the appropriate family or unaccompanied application.

Housing resources

Book the correct temporary accommodation

Belvoir’s lodging listings contain inconsistent advance-booking and pet statements. Obtain current terms directly from the property and confirm travel authorization.

Temporary lodging

Plan the school transfer

Use the school liaison to identify enrollment, records and district questions for the intended home address. A duty-station assignment does not select the school.

School liaison

Arrange child care early

Contact the child-care resource office early. Ask about eligibility, the request process and care covering your actual duty schedule; a request is not a confirmed placement.

Child-care resources

Confirm enrollment and clinic location

The installation’s medical center is now Alexander T. Augusta Military Medical Center. Confirm enrollment and the specific clinic rather than using the former hospital name as directions.

Medical resources

Connect with family support

Use the listed readiness office for relocation and household referrals. Confirm which programs serve your service, duty status and family circumstances.
