On Thursday, May 5, Fort Belvoir will hold the grand opening of its new Army Advocacy Center, the DOD’s first-ever centralized training facility that will provide advocacy training to the Army’s legal professionals.
Located at what used to be the garrison’s Kawamura Human Performance Center, the 9,300 square-foot facility on Gunston Road will offer training courses in civil and military justice litigation for members of the Army Judge Advocate General Corps, and feature seven state-of-the-art courtrooms for training and mock trials, according to Fort Belvoir Public Affairs.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and a small-business contractor constructed the $7 million facility, which will hold its first classes May 9.
Fort Belvoir will cover the center’s opening on Facebook Live at 10 a.m. on May 5.

Yea! Ericka, thanks for the great news and keeping the community informed of what's happening locally.
Ericka, thanks for sharing. I haven't seen any notice or coverage about this project by the Bureau of Land Management except for your "On the MoVe" posts. Thanks for helping to keep the community informed. Recommend that readers review and submit comments. From my listening to the meeting, I get the sense that
I am strongly opposed to any expansion of parking at the Mustang Loop parking lot. I support repaving with a permeable material. In my opinion, moving the pollinator garden is a waste of county resources. It adds a valued bit of nature to an otherwise sterile parking area and pavilion.
Erika, thanks for the update.
You're welcome!
