Merger edit

Given that DoD has realigned the two adjacent posts (Myer and HH) into one, it would seem to make sense that we merge the two stand-alone articles into the Joint Base article. All of the info can be retained from the two original articles (obviously omitting any redundancies). Fort McNair is also supposed to be incorporated into the joint post as well, consolidating the MDW but seeing as they are still physically across the water over in the district (Henderson Hall and Myer literally are/were separated by a fence), a blurb about McNair with a redirect to the main article page might be sufficient.

i think you could split this three ways: Fort Whipple (civil war defences of washington); Fort Myer (NRHP); Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall (installation. ok, split in two with infoboxes sorted, now. Duckduckstop (talk) 17:48, 25 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Disagree with merger because both this article and Henderson Hall (Arlington, Virginia) have enough history to rate it's own article. Closing due to lack of support. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 03:20, 28 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

HORRORS! edit

Just because the Defense Department did something stupid and hid the history of one of the Defenses of Washington, doesn't mean that you should. The Army has all the history and important events. The Marines at Henderson Hall only are admin types. You're mixing US Army and US Marine Corps - Army has POSTS ... Marines have BASES

Fort MYER has over 150 years of history and service to the United States.

ONLY the behind the scenes operations were merged. Signage on the highways and Interstates around the Fort Myer POST still say "FORT MYER"

Please cease this activity.

Fort Myer STILL deserves its own entry! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.245.29.247 (talk) 02:07, 11 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
