Fort Meade NSAFort Meade NSA Relocation Information

Welcome to Fort Meade NSA!

Fort Meade, Maryland, is home to the Defense Information School, the headquarters of United States Cyber Command, the National Security Agency (NSA), the Defense Courier Service, and Defense Information Systems Agency headquarters. Fort Meade NSA provides support and services for the NSA as well as more than 50 other tenant units including military intelligence and police brigades. Fort Meade NSA is the U.S. center for information, intelligence, and cyber operations.

Although an Army base, named after Union General George G. Meade, Fort Meade NSA is host to all five branches of the military which in part accounts for the reason Fort Meade NSA is Marylands largest employer and the Armys third largest installation workforce, including more than 16,000 military personnel and over 30,000 civilians.

National Security Agency Headquarters

Fort Meade NSA is a fully equipped and functioning city unto itself, sized at more than 5,000 acres. The base has the accommodations youd expect from a large installation including an updated commissary and Exchange, but also seven public schools located on base, in addition to robust recreation and entertainment outlets which includes family favorite, Burba Lake.

Fort Meade NSA is in the middle of their East Campus build, scheduled to end in 2023. The East Campus encompasses 242 acres and is the center hub for the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command.

1) If assigned to Fort Meade NSA, where do we live?

Fort Meade NSA offers privatized military housing on base under the management of Corvias. Immediately off base, the most popular cities include Odenton, Hanover, and Gambrills. Further away, but equally if not more popular, are the cities of Columbia, Crofton, and Severna Park. Glen Burnie and Bowie are about 10 miles away, and Annapolis is close to 20.

There are many reasons families choose to live further away in Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Maryland. The most common factors are affordability and the need for dual military families who hope to split the difference between duty stations.

2) Where do Fort Meade NSA kids go to public school?

Fort Meade NSA school children are under Anne Arundel County, Maryland, jurisdiction for public schools. There are multiple elementary schools, one middle, and a high school located on Fort Meade NSA, but the schools are not associated with DODEA. Off base public schools in nearby cities, through Anne Arundel County Public Schools, Howard County Public Schools, and Prince George's County Public Schools are also popular possibilities.

3) Does Fort Meade NSA have a hospital?

Fort Meade NSA does not have an ER, but has Kimbrough Ambulatory Care Center. Routine and speciality care appointments as well as same day surgery are options. In this area, U.S. Family Health Plan Johns Hopkins (Tricare Prime) is a prevalent choice for non emergency care off base.

National Security Agency, Central Security Service

Fort Meade NSA servicemembers and their families benefit from a centralized location on the north side of the National Capital Region (NCR). Fort Meade NSA sits between two major cities, Baltimore, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. both about 30 miles away. The capital of Maryland, Annapolis, (home to the U.S. Naval Academy) is a short drive and a cherished destination for exploring with out of town guests.

Although day to day traffic aligns more with Baltimore patterns, military members relocating to Fort Meade NSA are served well by understanding the term, Inside or Outside the Beltway, due to the likelihood of occasional or regular commutes into Washington, D.C.

Inside or Outside the Beltway is a descriptor for Interstate 495. It is a 64-mile loop around Washington, D.C., that encompasses suburbs of Virginia and Maryland. The Beltway is used to describe where real estate is located, a reference to where political action occurs (inside the Beltway in D.C.), and most frequently in traffic reports. This information is particularly useful if your family includes dual servicemembers. The NCR is one of the easiest places for an active duty couple to be stationed near each other.

D.C. Area Military Installations

Public transportation is integral to the way of life in the NCR. Servicemembers use public transportation to save time and money. The military provides a stipend for public transport and parking can be a challenge depending on location. Fort Meade NSA does have ample parking, but travel for work to the Pentagon or Walter Reed has parking challenges.

Marylands public transportation system, MARC, has a station in Odenton, which is about five miles from Fort Meade NSA. The Penn Line of the MARC runs between Baltimores Penn Station, through BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport, and into Union Station in Washington, D.C., where Metro stops are accessible. If youd like to bypass the MARC and pick up the closest Metro stop via car or bus, look for the Green line and Greenbelt Station.

Because of its location near Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Annapolis, Fort Meade NSA and surrounding area residents have access to year-round adventures, including cultural activities of every kind, sporting events, and the abundance of government and historic buildings to tour. Youll find something for everyone: festivals, museums, food, wine, and concerts.

If interested in major Washington, D.C. events such as the Cherry Blossom Festival, Marine Corps Marathon, Army 10 Miler, or the National Christmas Tree Lighting, do note that these require advance planning, as do visits to the White House or the Pentagon.

Fort Meades centric, Mid-Atlantic location provides vacation destinations that include river, bay, and ocean excursions in Virginia, Washington D.C., and Maryland. Western Maryland is known for access to mountain terrain, and many families find themselves heading there to seek relief from humid summers, but also to sharpen their ski skills in the winter.

The Eastern Shore is home to abundant waterside tourist attractions as are the Atlantic Ocean beach destinations such as Ocean City and Rehoboth Beach. Keep in mind theres plenty of additional recreation outlets within a 2-3 hour drive in neighboring West Virginia and Pennsylvania.

Rams offered for sale at the NSA Wales and Border sale, at the Royal Welsh Showground, on Monday September 20, will be inspected, following the easing of Covid regulations.

The veterinary inspection system which is unique and sets the sales apart from others, gives buyers added confidence in the huge range of tups on offer, the organisers said.

Chairman Graham Jones added: Our policy first and foremost was to get the sale back on. Were glad were allowed to achieve the usual high standards now that the regulations have been eased.

Every precaution will be taken to safeguard against Covid. Masks will be available as well as sanitisers and biosecurity. The inspection decision does of course remain subject to covid regulations

The inspection system was devised by Montgomery vet, the late Terry Boundy, who was invited to the early planning meetings in the 1970s. He had seen ram inspections in New Zealand and suggested training and then overseeing a group of inspectors in overall ram inspection.

He recalled that he had seen so many rams with major testicular faults that could be picked out with a physical examination. Often rams that couldnt perform had a good libido and appeared to be working.

Every serious person knows that President Joe Biden is responsible for the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, says Ambassador Robert C. OBrien, former National Security Adviser to President Trump.

For days, Biden has tried to pin the unfurling Afghanistan crisis on his predecessor. But OBrien insisted the Republican administration wouldve handled the withdrawal differently.

The first and obvious question, would this have happened had President Trump been reelected? host Hugh Hewitt asked OBrien on Mondays Hugh Hewitt Show.

No, look, it would have never happened in this manner. I mean, the President was committed to drawing down troops from Afghanistan, but when he left office, there were 2,500 American troops, importantly, 5,000 NATO troops. Kabul was free, OBrien said.

Look, domestically on both sides of the aisle, everyone who is honest who will talk to you knows that President Trump would have never presided over a situation like this. That goes for our foreign friends and our foes alike. President Trump was all about peace through strength and America first, he added. And I dont think anyone in an honest moment, whatever theyre saying now, believes that this could have happened under President Trump and the strength that he projected. And so you know, its a sad situation for America.

In addition to noting that Trump promised he would not preside over a Saigon-style retreat from Afghanistan, OBrien said all the civilians would have had to have been evacuated before withdrawing the military.

He was not interested in at all seeing our foes driving around in American-made Humvees or vehicles or getting access to American weapons. So you know, it was critical that he wanted all the equipment retrograded back to America before we left, OBrien added. And then of course, with the Taliban, any attacks on the United States which they have engaged in with our troops, failure to negotiate in good faith with the government of Afghanistan, those would have all been conditions that would have been, you know, slowed down or stopped withdrawal. So this wouldnt have happened under [Trump].

OBrien then called on Americans to pray for our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines and the leadership of this country and implored the current administration to evacuate our friends, the interpreters and other enablers, locally-employed staff of the embassy.

Weve got to focus right now on making this evacuation work, as bad as things look, OBrien said.
