ARLINGTON, Va. - Headquarters and Service Battalion, Headquarters Marine Corps, Henderson Hall has a new office in the Pentagon that will help keep joint base Marines mission ready.
“This has been fully capable for a week,” said Capt. Sean Sullivan, H&S Battalion S-3, during a July 30 interview with the Pentagram.
Known as H&S Battalion Forward – Pentagon, the office is located in room 4A524 and is open from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The idea for an office for Henderson Hall Marines who work in the Pentagon began to take shape shortly after Col. Anthony S. Barnes became commanding officer of the battalion last year, explained Sullivan.
“Part of the issue has been, ‘How do we provide support to all the Marines down here at the Pentagon?’” he said.
Prior to the Pentagon office opening, Marines had to take time out of their workday to travel “up the hill” from the Pentagon to Henderson Hall to take care of administrative and other tasks, noted Sullivan.
“There’s a huge impact to come to Henderson Hall [from the Pentagon],” he said.
The battalion’s office at the Pentagon provides a wide range of administrative support to Marines, continued Sullivan.
“If a Marine needs to get something adjusted with his pay, if a Marine needs to update his service record to get a set of orders done, or check in or check out, he can get it done here,” he said. “We’re kind of experimenting with what we can do out here. We’re trying to maximize our capabilities.”
Gunnery Sgt. William Hart, who works out of the Pentagon office, said the new facility is already a hit with the Marines who have utilized its services.
“They don’t have to go up the hill,” he said. “We’re trying to provide as much capability here as possible.”
In addition to administrative support, the Pentagon office also provides career progression and relocation assistance to Marines.
