Getting Here

Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, located along the Potomac River adjacent to I-295, is accessible from I-95, I-395 and I-495, and is within the Washington, D.C., city limits. If you plan to drive, you might consider arriving during non-rush hours; between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. weekdays.

If your plans include air travel, there are three airports serving the Washington area — Reagan National (DCA), Dulles International (IAD) and Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall (BWI). Reagan National Airport is in Northern Virginia just across the Potomac River from JBAB and about 15 minutes from the base during non-rush hours. Dulles, also in Northern Virginia, is farther away and during non-rush hours is about a 50-minute drive. BWI, is located north of the base in Maryland, and is about a 40-minute drive during non-rush hours. If you have the option, flying into Reagan National is the most convenient.

Reporting Procedures

All newly reporting personnel should report to their command first. Once you check into your command and they endorse your orders, Navy personnel will then report to PSD, located in Enterprise Hall, and Air Force personnel will report to MPF, located in Bldg. 16.

Base Access

Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling has three entrances: the Firth Sterling gate, Arnold (main) gate and the South gate. The South gate, also known as the “visitor’s gate,” is the only location where visitors without ID cards may access the base. Personnel assigned to the Pentagon should try to arrive during non-rush hours. The Pentagon is located in Virginia adjacent to I-395 and just across the Potomac River from downtown D.C. It is easily accessible by both Metrobus and Metrorail (subway). In fact, Metrorail has an underground stop at the Pentagon on the Blue and Yellow lines.

Off-Base Housing Referral:

Living in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area can be an exciting adventure, however, be prepared for high rents. A security deposit equal to one month's rent is often required in advance, along with the first month's rent. People can also expect a credit check fee when applying to move into an apartment.

Prior to signing a rental agreement, it is crucial that military members ensure that they have a clause in their leases protecting them if they are forced to break their leases early due to permanent change of station, deployment or a temporary duty assignment.

Housing or the legal office can provide people with a copy of an Early Termination of Rental Agreement for use as an addendum to their leases. In addition, the legal office can provide assistance if people have any concerns regarding a lease before they sign it.

Deposits may be required when contracting for telephone, gas, electricity and cable television services.

Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling established a "Rental Partnership" program, which is designed to combat the high cost of living in the D.C. metropolitan area. This program waives security deposits, application fees, credit checks and income requirements. Additionally, there is a 5-percent discount off the original rent at most apartment homes. To qualify, you must be a military member assigned to the area and be willing to set up an allotment to pay your rent. For a "Rental Partnership" list of apartments and an application, stop by the JBAB Housing Office upon your arrival or you may request one be sent to you by calling the JBAB Housing Management Office at 202.404.1840 or 202.685.1187.
