The U.S. Army Garrison Fort Belvoir is the principal regional administrative and logistics center for the Military District of Washington (MDW). The installation's mission is: to command, control, and operate Fort Belvoir and assigned attached units, to provide installation support to authorized activities and personnel assigned to or located in the geographical support area of Fort Belvoir, and to plan and maintain mobilization readiness for FB and tenant activities. Fort Belvoir also receives, supports, and trains Reserve units and prepares forces for employment in the National Capital Region. The 8,239-acre post hosts more than 100 Department of Defense (DoD), Department of the Army (DA), government, and civilian tenant organizations. Fort Belvoir is responsible for the stewardship of the cultural and historical resources located within its boundaries. Fort Belvoir s cultural resources responsibilities are defined by a wide range of laws, principally the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended, which requires Federal agencies to identify, inventory, evaluate, and protect properties listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register), and by DoD and DA regulations, including Army Regulation (AR) 200-4. Among other items, AR 200-4 requires that Fort Belvoir prepare an Integrated Cultural Resource Management Plan (ICRMP).
