Fort Lee Directorate Family, Morale
Welfare and Recreation Marketing

Fort Lee’s Directorate Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation (FMWR) is a center for Army FMWR excellence.  FMWR exists to enhance the quality of life, enrich living and working environments, and foster a sense of community for Soldiers, Family members and civilians.  We give back to our Soldiers a quality of life that they have pledged to defend for us all.
As an integral part of military life, FMWR provides Soldiers and their Families with many fitness, entertainment and family support outlets. Many of the events, programs and services offered at Fort Lee would not be possible without the contributions from local, regional, national and international companies and organizations, community businesses and patriotic citizens that we receive yearly. 
As one of the installation organizations in the Department of Defense, the Fort Lee FMWR program is a values-based organization, which focuses on training while providing high quality service to a growing and increasingly diverse population of Soldiers, Families and civilians.
Since World War I, FMWR has continuously strived to improve the quality of life of an increasingly diverse military community.  Your contributions help make that possible and we thank you.

Market Summary:
Fort Lee serves as the focal point for Army Logistics and provides support to U.S. Army Joint and Coalition operations around the world.  It is home of the Combined Arms Support Command, U.S. Army Garrison, Army Logistics College, Quartermaster Center and School, and the headquarters for the Defense Commissary Agency.  We will soon house the Ordance and Transportation Schools.

Market Demographics: 
It is home for nearly 3,200 military personnel and equally as many Families’ members, 600 single Soldiers and 2,300 Families off post.  On any given day, between 3,000 and 4,200 students are trained here.  Most of the students attend one of nine Advance Individual Training (AIT) courses here at the Quartermaster Center and School (QMC&S).  However, officers, warrant officers, non-commissioned officers and civilians also attend classes at the QMC&S and the Army Logistics Management College (ALMC).  The post trains more than 35,000 students annually.  Our Military Community serves a population of over 40,000.  We are a 100% employed post, including 3,000 civilian employees.  Each year, Fort Lee contributes over $700 million to the local economy. 

Market Trends:
            With the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) program coming to Fort Lee, we expect to see increasing populations both on and off post.  Our facilities will continue to improve and grow to meet the needs of our new Soldiers.  Events and activities will expand to include the new Families, both active duty military and civilians, as well as continue to serve current and retired military personnel.  Our surrounding communities are responding to this need as well, growing in education facilities, retail shops and restaurant and entertainment venues.
