JOINT BASE MYER-HENDERSON HALL WELCOME TO JOINT BASE MYER-HENDERSON HALL Look for details inside this guidebook, prepared to introduce you to the joint military environment in the National Capital Region, but also to acquaint you specifically with the services and facilities that will make you feel at home. You are serving at the center of the nation’s treasure, wrapped in the history of yesterday and poised for the innovations of tomorrow. There are very few service-unique functions at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall. If a function can be shared, and it is in the best interests of those served to do so, the function is shared. Both services maintain the traditions and unique history that speak “Soldier” and “Marine.” Again, welcome to Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall located in Virginia and in Washington, District of Columbia.

A LITTLE HISTORY
Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall is made up of Fort Myer and Henderson Hall in Virginia, and Fort Lesley J. McNair in Washington, D.C.
FORT MYER
Fort Myer, Virginia, traces its origins to the
Civil War and since then, has been a Signal
Corps post, a showcase for Army cavalry
and site of the first flight of an aircraft at a
military installation.
The acreage that is Fort Myer and Arlington
National Cemetery was once called Arlington
Heights when owned in the late 1850s by
Mary Anna Randolph Custis, daughter of
George Washington Parke Custis, Martha
Washington’s grandson.
Mary Anna married young Army Lt. Robert
E. Lee in 1831. Lee, who had graduated
second in his West Point class of 1829, later
helped rescue the estate from financial ruin
in 1860. The Lees left the area in the spring
of 1861, and Lee became military advisor to
Confederate President Jefferson Davis, and
later, commander of the Army of Northern
Virginia. He never returned to Arlington. Soldiers of the 15th Cavalry raise their swords on Summerall Field for a photo. Fort Myer
