Henderson Hall

2014 Guide to MCCS Henderson Hall

The Henderson Hall portion of Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall is located in Arlington, Virginia, directly across the Potomac River from the nation’s capital. We are situated on Southgate Road on the southern border of Arlington National Cemetery. The Pentagon is a short distance away. Built on land acquired through deeds and other actions between 1943 and 1952, Henderson Hall officially became U.S. government property on February 15, 1954, when the governor of Virginia executed a Deed of Cession of Political Jurisdiction. With the move of Headquarters Marine Corps to the Navy Annex in November 1941 and Marine Corps expansion following the outbreak of World War II, a Headquarters and Service Company was organized at Henderson Hall on March 1, 1942. With the addition of the Women Marine Company, units were consolidated under Headquarters Battalion on April 1, 1943, which led to the establishment of Henderson Hall in September 1943, primarily to billet the 2,568 Women Marines serving in the Washington D.C. area. During August 1946, a substantial number of Women Marines were released from active duty, making Henderson Hall barracks available for billeting male Marines. In 1950, the Korean War was heating up. Headquarters Battalion numbers swelled once again. Henderson Hall was a 23-acre city in miniature, with a chapel, post office, gas station, exchange, bowling alley, MARS radio station, firing range, sports fields, supply depot, three clubs, a hobby shop, a gym, and a swimming pool. The workweek was five-and-a-half days, with all enlisted companies carrying out a Saturday morning school and drill schedule. On February 16, 1955, then Commandant General Lemuel C. Shepherd, Jr. received the bell from the Navy transport ship USS Henderson, named for the 5th Commandant of the Marine Corps. The bell rests outside the Headquarters Building, beside “the” flagpole of the Marine Corps. Henderson Hall owes its name to Col (Brevet Brigadier General) Archibald Henderson, first commandant of the Marine Corps. Born on January 21, 1783, in Colchester, Virginia, he was appointed a second lieutenant 5

2014 Guide to MCCS Henderson Hall

in the Marine Corps June 4, 1806, promoted to first lieutenant March 6, 1807, to captain April 1, 1811, and appointed major, by brevet, in 1814. As a captain during the War of 1812, Henderson participated in the engagements with the British warships HMS Cyane and HMS Levant on April 20, 1815. He received a silver medal and was included in the thanks of Congress to the officers and men of the USS Constitution for gallant service. He was later presented with a jeweled sword by the Commonwealth of Virginia. On October 17, 1820, at the age of 37, LtCol Henderson was appointed Commandant of the Marine Corps. He served in the position for more than 38 years—the longest of any officer to hold that position. During the 1836-37 war with the Seminole and Creek Indians in Georgia and Florida, in which the Marine Corps took an active part, Col Henderson, as commandant, went in person into the field with his command, sharing in the dangers and exposures of that campaign. For his services in checking Indian hostilities, he was advanced to the brevet rank of brigadier general. During the Mexican War, which was preceded by much military activity on the part of the Marine Corps during the years 1845-46 on the West Coast, Henderson administered the affairs of the Marine Corps. The success attained by the Corps during the war, including its expansion and development from a small fighting force into a well recognized and very formidable arm of the nation’s military forces, was due in no small measure to the leadership and ability of its commandant. In 1857, Marines were ordered at the request of the mayor of Washington, D.C., to suppress an armed mob of “hired roughs and bullies” who had been imported from Baltimore to take possession of the election booths. During the riot, when a cannon was put into position by a large crowd who threatened the Marines, Henderson deliberately placed his body against the muzzle, thereby preventing it from being aimed at the Marines, just at the moment when it was about to be discharged. LtCol Henderson passed away quietly on the afternoon of Jan. 6, 1859. His remains were interred in the Congressional Cemetery in southeast Washington, D.C. The Navy transport, the USS Henderson, was named in his memory. In October 2009, Henderson Hall, in compliance with the Base Realignment and Consolidation (BRAC) mandate, became part of Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall. The Headquarters & Service Battalion remains in a direct reporting chain to Headquarters Marine Corps.

Headquarters & Service Battalion

2014 Guide to MCCS Henderson Hall

MCCS serves the Headquarters & Service Battalion, Headquarters Marine Corps, Henderson Hall. The battalion provides administrative, operational, logistic, and quality of life services in support of over 2,000 Marines and civilians of Headquarters Marine Corps. Additionally, the battalion serves to support retired service members and family members who live in the National Capital Region. Some 450 Marines and civilians work “inside the wire” of the base, with the remainder assigned to the Pentagon, the Navy Yard, Fort Meade (Maryland), and other locations surrounding Washington, D.C. Personnel assigned to Henderson Hall work proudly to continue the spirit of Archibald Henderson, whose 39-year commandancy first gave the Marine Corps its renowned national and international reputation.

Key elements in this effort include edgy, multi-faceted prevention oriented training leading to timely intervention, referral and treatment.

Cpl Terry L. Smith Gym

Zembiec Pool

The aquatics facility is named in memory of Maj Douglas A. Zembiec. Maj Zembiec was posthumously awarded the Silver Star for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy while serving as a Marine advisor, Iraq Assistance Group, Multi-national Corps, Iraq, in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom on 11 May 2007. Attacking from concealed and fortified positions, an enemy force engaged Maj Zembiecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assault team, firing crew-served automatic weapons and various small arms. He boldly moved forward and immediately directed the bulk of his assault team to take cover. Under withering enemy fire, Maj Zembiec remained in an exposed, but tactically critical, position in order to provide leadership and direct effective

The gymnasium is named in memory of Cpl Terry L. Smith. Cpl Smith was posthumously awarded the Silver Star for gallantry and intrepidity in action while serving as a radio operator with Company M, Third Battalion, Twentysixth Marines, Third Marine Division, Fleet Marine Force in the Republic of Vietnam. On 20 February 1968, on Hill 8818 near Khe Sahn, Cpl Smith observed a Marine helicopter landing in a zone on which he knew North Vietnamese army gunners had registered heavy mortars. He realized that the aircraft would almost certainly be destroyed if it remained in the landing zone and attempted unsuccessfully to contact the pilot by radio. Aware that the enemy rounds were probably already on the way, he restrained a Marine junior to him from going out onto the zone, and, leaving the safety of his bunker, ran across the open ground signaling manually to the helicopter crew to take off immediately. As the helicopter took off and before Cpl Smith could reach cover, he was fatally wounded by mortar fragments, gallantly sacrificing his life so that the crew might live. By his extraordinary courage in the face of overwhelming odds, his uncommon concern for others, and his self-sacrificing efforts, Cpl Smith reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service.

suppressive fire on the enemy combatant positions with his assault team’s machine gun. In doing so, he received the brunt the enemy’s fire, was struck and succumbed to his wounds. Emboldened by his actions, his team and supporting assault force aggressively engaged the enemy combatants. Maj Zembiec’s quick thinking and timely action to re-orient his team’s machine gun enabled the remaining members of his unit to rapidly and accurately engage the primary source of the enemy’s fire, saving the lives of his comrades. By his bold initiative, undaunted courage, and complete dedication to duty, Maj Zembiec reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service.

Keith Hall The enlisted Marine barrack buildings were

2014 Guide to MCCS Henderson Hall

named in honor of Lance Corporal Miguel Keith, who received the Congressional Medal of Honor for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as machine gunner with Combined Action Platoon 1-3-2, III Marine Amphibious Force, operating in Quang Ngai province, Republic of Vietnam. During the early morning 8 May 1970, Lance Corporal Keith was seriously wounded when his platoon was subjected to a heavy ground attack by a greatly outnumbering enemy force. Despite his painful wounds, he ran across the fire-swept terrain to check the security of vital defense positions, and then, while completely exposed to view, proceeded to deliver a hail of devastating machine gun fire against the enemy. Determined to stop five of the enemy approaching the command post, he rushed forward, firing as he advanced. He succeeded in disposing of three of the attackers and in dispersing the remaining two. At this point, a grenade detonated near Lance Corporal Keith, knocking him to the ground and inflicting further severe wounds. Fighting pain and weakness from loss of blood, he again braved the concentrated hostile fire to charge an estimated twenty-five enemy soldiers who were massing to attack. The vigor of his assault and his well-placed fire eliminated four of the enemy while the remainder fled for cover. During this valiant effort, he was mortally wounded by an enemy soldier. By his courageous and inspiring performance in the face of almost overwhelming odds, Lance Corporal Keith contributed in large measure to the success of his platoon in routing a numerically superior enemy force, and upheld the finest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service.
