FMWR
(Family Morale, Welfare, and Recreation) enhances military mission
readiness and productivity through recreation and community
support services throughout the world. The Department of Defense
(DoD) instruction governing FMWR describes us this way:
"FMWR
programs are vital to mission accomplishment and form an integral
part of the non pay compensation system. These programs provide
a sense of community among patrons and provide support services
commonly furnished by other employers, or other State and
local governments to their employees and citizens. FMWR programs
encourage positive individual values, and aid in recruitment
and retention of personnel. They provide for the physical,
cultural, and social needs and general well-being of Service
members and their families, providing community support systems
that make DoD bases temporary hometowns for a mobile military
population."
Most MWR
programs are implemented at the installation level. In the
Fort Myer Military Community (FMMC), FMWR is operated under
the Directorate of Family Morale, Welfare, & Recreation (DFMWR)
reporting to the Garrison Commander. In our community, which
includes both Fort Myer in Virginia and Fort McNair in the
District of Columbia, MWR provides all the services and facilities
you see listed in the menu bar on the left side of the screen,
including child care, three clubs, a library, two fitness
centers, pools, tennis courts, a bowling center, and more.
Our programs are available to our large community of active
and retired military, their family members and guests, current
and retired Department of Defense personnel their family members
and guests, and in some cases to federal personnel and their
family members and guests.
