JOINT BASE MYER-HENDERSON HALL, Va. – The U.S. Army Installation Management Command – Sustainment leadership team, including new director Mr. Jay Condrey, conducted a site assessment, toured key facilities, and engaged with service members and garrison employees during a recent visit here Sept. 19.
Condrey and Command Sgt. Maj. Tamisha Love visited several notable and historic sites on the installation, gaining firsthand insight into the infrastructure challenges and history of the Joint Base, while receiving update briefs and providing guidance on several major infrastructure projects that will strategically serve the Army in the coming years.
According to Col. Keith Sandoval, commander, JBM-HH, the ID-S leadership team were able to see in person the projects initiated over the last year to support quality of life and improve readiness for the service members, families, and civilians who live and work on JBM-HH. They also had an opportunity to discuss the impact of the projects firsthand with the employees who are keeping the installation ready and resilient.
“The visit went exceptionally well,” Sandoval said. “I think that we were able to provide clear insight into some of our ongoing initiatives which the ID-S command team can use as points of reference when we talk about future modernization projects here on the Joint Base.”
An introduction to historic housing management started at Quarters 2, a home on Myer, which served as the backdrop to discuss the Garrison’s ongoing efforts to maintain safe and dependable housing across the installation. Next, Condrey surveyed Patton Hall, the centerpiece of JBM-HH’s historical footprint and the site of several Army senior leader events, where he received an update on the logistics plan to move operations to Spates Hall while Patton is closed for repairs beginning next year.
Condrey assessed progress of the caisson stables, which is currently under construction, and received a briefing on construction milestones, safety standards, and how the new facility will enhance the Army’s public-facing Arlington National Cemetery ceremonial support.
Condrey and Love also inspected the Cody Child Development Center, one of the largest CDCs in the Department of War, and were briefed about several new initiatives that promote early childhood learning and safety, reinforcing the Army’s approach to installation resilience and its commitment to support senior commander priorities.
The ID-S leadership took time to engage with employees across the Garrison Team, presenting several with coins for excellence. The pair also answered questions from civilian employees about challenges and opportunities as the Army moves forward in Continuous Transformation.
“This visit provided a first-hand perspective of the incredible efforts of the IMCOM professionals who focus on maintaining and modernizing essential infrastructure, provide exceptional quality of life programs for the Warfighter, perform protection and base operations missions – all in direct support of the (Military District of Washington) senior commander, Brig. Gen. Antionette Gant,” said Condrey.
