Fort Belvoir held a patching ceremony on the steps of its headquarters building, April 3, symbolizing a new chapter in its history. As the second Installation Management Command installation to transition from the Army Material Command patch to the U.S. Army Military District of Washington patch, this change follows a recent execution order directed by the Secretary of the Army. Major General Trevor Bredenkamp, Commanding General of the Joint Task Force-National Capital Region and MDW, presided over the ceremony. In his remarks, he emphasized that while the uniform change is symbolic, it serves as a testament to the enduring and steadfast relationship between Fort Belvoir and MDW.

The Fort Belvoir command team unveiled a new standard of living for unaccompanied Service members. During the ribbon-cutting ceremony Fort Belvoir Garrison Commander, Col. David Stewart, reinforced a message shared with every Soldier upon arrival to the installation – one that now resonates even more with the new barracks design. “This is not a temporary place for you to sleep – this is your home."
