Established in 1914, Fort Story; previously a sub-installation of Fort Eustis, is now a sub-installation of US Navy Little Creek Amphibious Base. Because of its location at the entrance to Chesapeake Bay, Fort Story contains a mixture of both soft and hard sand beaches, grassy dunes and cyprus swamps. Because of these natural features it is commonly used by Army for training in amphibious and Joint Logistics-Over-the-Shore (LOTS) training.

Established in 1917, shortly after the US entered World War I, Fort Lee was used as a mobilization and training camp - just 60 days after construction began, it already housed 14,000 men! During World War II Fort Lee was used as a Quartermaster Replacement Training Center and a Medical Replacement Training Center.

Fort Lee has retained the Quartermaster Training school, and as a part of Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), is also involved in the training of Logistics, Ordnance, and Transportation specialists.

Fort Belvoir sits near the site of the Belvoir plantation - which was destroyed by fire in 1783. The installation itself wasn't founded until 1917, as a training camp for Army Engineers, as well teaching about chemical and trench warfare strategies. During World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, Belvoir again put out engineers (and engineer officers) by the hundreds.

Belvoir is currently the headquarters for several Army agencies, such as the Defense Logistics Agency, the US Army Intelligence and Security Command, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, as well as Virginia National Guard's 29th Infantry Division. The Engineering School, at Belvoir for over 70 years, was moved to Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri in 1988.

Established in 1941, Fort Gillem primary mission is supporting nearby Fort McPherson. However, the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) has recommended that both bases be shut down. It is unclear if one or both bases may be saved, but Fort Gillem will likely not be totally shut down, due to the hazardous materials permanently stored underground on the base.
