Road Trip: Fort Lee, Virginia

Fort Lee is a United States Army post and headquarters of the U.S. Army Combined Arms Support Command (CASCOM), U.S. Army Quartermaster Center and School (QMCS), the Army Logistics University (ALU), the U.S. Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA), and the U.S. Ordnance Center and Schools (OC&S) formerly headquartered at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. A U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) unit, the 49th Quartermaster Group (Petroleum and Water), is stationed here.

There are four major commands on Fort Lee: the Combined Arms Support Command, the Quartermaster School, the U.S. Army Garrison, the Army Logistics Management College, and the headquarters for the Defense Commissary Command.

The Petroleum Training Facility (PTF) is a branch of the Petroleum and Water Department. At the PTF site, military personnel train by using equipment and the latest technologies as well as tried-and-true methods. The staff at the PTF maintains more than 14 acres of facilities and instructs more than 3,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines of all ranks each year.

Ensuring that students can safely and effectively receive, store and issue petroleum products on a wide range of fixed sites and mobile equipment is the PTF mission. The PTF system consists of 4 terminals, 2 pump stations and 11 storage tanks with a total storage capacity of 2.1 million gallons.

The Military in the Field (MIF) site is a tactical training facility of the Petroleum and Water Department. After MIF training, commanders receive mission-ready soldiers who can operate and maintain equipment to standard.

The MIF provides the necessary facilities and equipment to train Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Department of Defense civilians and foreign military personnel. Soldiers, officers, warrant officers and noncommissioned officers train at the MIF site in almost every course taught at Fort Lee, VA.

Since 1957 the U. S. Army Quartermaster Museum has preserved the history and heritage of the U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps, the Army's oldest logistic branch.

 From the Revolution to the Persian Gulf, America's secret weapon is the one that keeps soldiers supplied with food, water, clothing, fuel, shelter and other things they can't survive combat without. This weapon is the Quartermaster Corps, and at the Quartermaster Museum, you’ll see how it’s sustained American soldiers since 1775.

Thanks for joining us. What fond memories do you have of the place?

Weekend was okay, thanks! PT last night was brutal - I can barely stand up today. Very fatigued, but still plugging away.

I hope everything is going well with you!

I’m sure you are off working your tail-feathers off but I’m on a lunch break and wanted to say howdy.

It’s going well. It’s a day off, so that’s always a good thing!
