Fort Lee is
located three miles east of Petersburg, Virginia on Highway 36
in Prince George County. Fort Lee is 116 miles from
Washington, D.C. It is 21 miles from Richmond, the Virginia
state capitol. The base operator's phone number is
804-765-3000 or DSN 312-539-3000.
History
Camp Lee was a major training center during World Wars I and
II. It was named in honor of Confederate General Robert E.
Lee. During World War II the Quartermaster Replacement
Training Center, a Quartermaster Board for research and
development, and a Technical Training Center for producing
doctrinal literature and training aids were located here.
Early in October 1941, the Quartermaster School moved from
Philadelphia, making Camp Lee its new home. In 1905, Camp Lee
was re-designated Fort Lee and made a permanent installation.
The Quartermaster Training Center brought an intensification
of training activity to the Quartermaster Corps. In 1962, Fort
Lee became headquarters of the Quartermaster Corps. In July
1973, Fort Lee came under the command of the U.S. Army
Training and Doctrine Command.
Mission
To provide logistics doctrine, organizations, training, leader
development, and materiel solutions to sustain a campaign
quality Army with joint and expeditionary capabilities during
peace and war.
Population Served
Fort Lee is home for nearly 3,200 military personnel and
equally as many family members, 600 single soldiers on the
installation and another 2,300 families off-post. On any given
day between 3,000 and 4,200 students are trained here.
Base Transportation
On post shuttles are in use around post for military personnel
attending schools here under the Military Training Service
Support Program. Others may ride the bus with a valid DoD I.D.
card on a space available basis only. The use of these
shuttles is not authorized for Advanced Individual Training (AIT)
students. The 23rd Brigade runs shuttles as dictated by
mission for AIT students. Anyone who is not an authorized
cadre member is prohibited from riding these shuttles.
Sponsorship
The Total Army Sponsorship Program is designed to assist
Soldiers, civilian employees, and family members during the
relocation process. When feasible, sponsors are selected who
are of the same gender, marital status and military career
field or occupational series as the incoming soldier or
civilian employee. When practical, the sponsor is in a grade
equal to or higher than the incoming member. The sponsor is
normally not the person being replaced, nor within 60 days of
PCSing. In order to request a sponsor service member, you will
need to complete DA Form 5434, which can be done at your
reassignment interview or contact the Military Personnel
Division.
Permanent party Soldiers will report during duty hours in
uniform. Soldiers arriving after 4:30 pm and on weekends must
report to the IOC, Building 1107, located on 1st street.
Soldiers will in-process and then report to their unit of
assignment the same day. Soldiers will in-process at Finance
on Day 2 of in-processing at 1:00 pm.
A post office box can be purchased prior to your arrival at
Fort Lee.
