At a glance.

Fort Myer is the Army campus of Joint Base Myer–Henderson Hall in Arlington. Use the service-specific reporting office even though the campuses share a joint installation. [2]

The joint base includes Fort Myer, Henderson Hall and Fort McNair. Fort McNair is in Washington, D.C.; it is not a third Virginia campus. [1]

Base essentials.

At your fingertips

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

Confirm the unit’s instructions. General Soldier processing uses MPD at 106 Custer Road, Building 202; Old Guard and other command reporting can use different offices.

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

Use the military housing office for National Capital Region options and lease assistance. Confirm family eligibility and unaccompanied assignments separately.

Housing resources

Book the correct temporary accommodation

Wainwright Hall is on the Fort Myer campus. Confirm current operation, reservation and eligibility; Henderson Hall’s lack of temporary quarters is a separate issue.

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

Confirm whether the assigned readiness clinic, Pentagon clinic or another enrolled provider is appropriate. Nearby military facilities do not imply automatic family enrollment.

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.
