Forest Glen Annex
The Forest Glen Annex is a 136-acre (0.55 km2) U.S. Army installation in the Forest Glen neighborhood of Silver Spring, Maryland, USA. It is situated between Brookville Road and Linden Lane. Since 1999, the Annex has been the site of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) and the Naval Medical Research Center (NMRC), along with smaller units. In addition to the large research laboratories located in the Annex’s "Daniel K. Inouye Building" (Building 503), the post includes a commissary, a child care center, and a Fisher House. There are also football and baseball fields, and picnicing facilities. In 2011, in accordance with the most recent Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) recommendations, the Forest Glen Annex became home to the National Museum of Health and Medicine (NMHM) as well as a "Joint Center of Excellence in Infectious Disease Research." The former post exchange was repurposed as office space and a new Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) was opened at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
The Forest Glen property was acquired by the Army during the World War II era. Formerly known as the “Walter Reed Forest Glen Annex”, after many decades as a tenant of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) in Washington, DC, authority over the facility was transferred on 1 October 2008 to the Installation Commander, Fort Detrick, Maryland.
