  Fort Belvoir
Fort Belvoir is home to Army major command headquarters, units and agencies of nine different Army major commands, 16 different agencies of the Department of the Army, eight elements of the U.S. Army Reserve and Army National Guard and nine DoD agencies.
Fort Belvoir's history is interwoven with the birth of our nation, as well as the founding of Fairfax County, Va. Like most land in colonial America, the 8,656-acre tract along the Potomac River that is now Fort Belvoir was part of a grant from a 17th-century English king.
In the face of this development, Fort Belvoir approved a landmark plan to protect wildlife habitat on the post, adding 600 acres to the post's already 1,450 acres of forest, wetlands and shoreline that have been set aside for wildlife refuge.

Supporters of the Fort Belvoir site got a major boost last month when legislation was proposed by Sen. Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., in the Senate and Rep. James P. Moran, D-8th District, in the House that would require the secretary of the Army to designate the sprawling Army post as the location for the museum.

"Location of the Army museum at Fort Belvoir would be a key part of the redevelopment of the Route 1 corridor and a perfect fit with the other historic properties that complement Route 1," said Fairfax County Supervisor Dana Kauffman, D-Lee District.
