JBM-HH DPW Prepares Snow Plow Drivers for Winter Pentagram Vol. 62, No. 44 November 5, 2015 www.army.mil/jbmhh Published For Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall Happy 240th, Marines! Compiled by Jim Goodwin Pentagram editor Nov. 10 marks the 240th Marine Corps birthday, a momentous occasion for those who have worn the Ea- gle, Globe and Anchor. While I will not attempt to re- prise the Corps’ illustrious histo- ry in a few meager paragraphs for the Pentagram, I certainly would like to encourage readers to learn more about the history of our very own Henderson Hall, home of Headquarters and Service Battalion, Headquarters Marine Corps. Headquarters Marine Corps moved from the Pentagon to the newly-built Navy Annex, formerly located just outside of Henderson Hall’s gates, in 1941, according to a history webpage published by Joint Base My- er-Henderson Hall. The expan- sion of the Marine Corps at the outbreak of World War II led the Corps to establish a Headquar- ters Company, and eventually a battalion at Henderson Hall to support an expanded Head- PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY NELL KING quarters Marine Corps. The Marine Corps War Memorial, located just outside Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall’s Wright Gate in Arlington, was dedicated by President Dwight D. Eisenhower Nov. 10, 1954 to all Marines who have given their lives in the defense of the United States since 1775, according to the Marine Corps Historical see 240TH, page 2 Division.

PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY RACHEL LARUE This photo illustration is a combination of two photographs, digitally joined during post processing. The black and white image on the right, part of the United States Marine NDU rings in Halloween Corps History Division archives, shows the Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Va., under construction. The photograph is dated Sept. 16, 1954; the photographer is not credited. The caption reads simply, “Construction of the Iwo Jima Memorial Statue: Putting 3rd group into position.” The color image on the left was taken in a similar location March 30, 2015. The statue is based on the photograph taken by Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal on Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima on Feb. 23, 1945. Rosenthal won with 5K Fun Run a Pulitzer Prize for the photograph. The statue was sculpted by Felix W. de Weldon. The statue is cast out of bronze in over a dozen pieces, which were assembled in place, according to the National Park Service website.

    Executive Director’s Recommendation Commission Meeting: July 9, 2015 PROJECT NCPC FILE NUMBER Final Master Plan MP45 Arlington National Cemetery NCPC MAP FILE NUMBER Arlington County, Virginia 1.61(05.00)44034 SUBMITTED BY APPLICANT’S REQUEST United States Department of Defense Approval of final master plan Department of the Army PROPOSED ACTION REVIEW AUTHORITY Approve as requested Advisory per 40 U.S.C. § 8722(a) and (b)(1) ACTION ITEM TYPE Consent Calendar PROJECT SUMMARY The Department of the Army submitted a Final Real Property Master Plan for Arlington National Cemetery (ANC). ANC is a 624-acre cemetery located in Arlington County, Virginia surrounded by major roadways, Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall (JBM-HH), the Pentagon Reservation, developed areas of Arlington County, and lands under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service. According to the Army, the ANC will exhaust the remaining capacity for interments for eligible veterans within ten years without any expansion. This Final Master Plan contains a number of major initiatives, including a major expansion, to extend the burial capacity of ANC beyond the 2037 planning horizon. KEY INFORMATION • Established in 1864, Arlington National Cemeteries is one of the oldest military cemeteries in the country. • In 2013, ANC expanded with the addition of the Navy Annex site, which is now known as the Southern Expansion. This site is bounded on the south by Interstate 395, on the north by Southgate Road, on the west by the Foxcroft Heights neighborhood and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Maintenance Yard, and on the east by Route 27. • If the Navy Annex site had not been added to Arlington National Cemetery, the remaining capacity for interments for eligible veterans would be exhausted for niche spaces by 2024 and 2025 for in-ground spaces.
