    WECOME TO JOINT BASE MYER-HENDERSON HALL!

This guide page is your introduction to the joint military environment in the National Capital Region as you get acquainted 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 JBM-HH. 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.” JBM-HH is located in Virginia on the Myer and Henderson Hall Campuses and in Washington, D.C. on the McNair Campus.

PCS Moves

The Army continues to implement policies and initiatives to improve and streamline permanent change of station (PCS) relocations so that Soldiers and their families experience safe, convenient, and predictable transitions to new homes.

RESOURCES

WHAT'S NEW?

  • The Army increased reimbursement for personally procured moves (PPMs) to 100% of the estimated cost the government would pay a moving company as well as fuel surcharges or allowances for bulky items like motorcycles or hot-tubs. This provides Soldiers and civilians more scheduling flexibility and an option to avoid contact with outside agencies. Note: funded orders and weight tickets are required.
  • To enable better forecasting and scheduling, the Army now requires PCS orders to be provided 120 days before report dates.
  • During a PCS move, Soldiers can claim per diem allowance for meals and incidentals up to seven days without receipts. If pickups or deliveries are missed during a PCS move, Soldiers may claim per diem allowance for meals and incidentals up to seven days without receipts. DPMO Inconvenience Claims Fact Sheet
  • The claim notification deadline has been increased from 75 to 180 days after delivery to identify any loss or damage, with the choice to repair or receive full repair costs.
  • Moving companies are being held accountable for their services. The Army posts moving company customer satisfaction survey scores on the Defense Personal Property System customer page. Soldiers and civilians will receive survey invitations via text or email and can complete the survey online. Survey responses provide valuable feedback on both government and industry services that we use to improve processes and maintain accountability.
