Get to know the installation.
A joint Navy–Army coastal community spanning Little Creek and Fort Story in Virginia Beach. Research the specific gaining organization alongside the shared Hampton Roads & the Virginia Peninsula Regional PCS Guide.
Little Creek and Fort Story occupy different parts of the Virginia Beach coastal community. Norfolk and Chesapeake extend the wider housing comparison, while First Landing State Park offers a separate bay-and-forest outing. Match the orders to the correct component before comparing household routes, especially when a candidate address looks close to one end of the joint base.

Installation history.
The joint base was established in 2009 by combining the former Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek and the Army’s Fort Story. Their separate histories and coastal settings remain useful context for understanding the assignment. The combined name does not turn the two component locations into a single reporting entrance or neighborhood.

Arrival at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story.
Confirm whether the gaining organization reports at Little Creek or Fort Story, then use the relevant current installation directions and sponsor contact. Do not substitute one component’s address for the other. Keep temporary lodging, housing applications and household service appointments distinct, and preserve a reporting contact for changes to coastal travel plans.
Keep the reporting destination distinct from nearby civilian landmarks and from other military sites in the region. Confirm lodging, the first reporting step and a contact for travel changes through the official installation resources before departure.
Local character & seasonal context.
The Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic setting brings humid summer periods, changing coastal storms and cooler winter weather. Keep current road, weather and park notices with arrival plans. Maritime woodland and a calm bay shore describe regional character, not present conditions or permission to enter an installation beach or facility.
Notable regional features
- Chesapeake Bay shore
- low coastal dunes
- maritime pine and oak woodland
First Landing State Park ↗ is a regional discovery starting point, separate from installation facilities.
