HENDERSON HALL FORWARD
In order to provide administration support for the Marines who work in the Pentagon, H&S Bn has stood
up an Administration Support Officer located in RM 4A524.
If your Marines need administrative support I ask that you direct them our way.
Hours of Operation: 0800-1600 Monday - Friday.
Contact Information H&S Battalion Forward - Pentagon
DECLARE YOUR MOTORCYCLE OWNERSHIP
If you own or operate a motorcycle, Marine Corps regulations require that you report such
ownership/operation to your command. ALMAR 014-08 which was published in 2008 mandates that all
Marines declare motorcycle ownership (even if cycle is not at their current duty station or is not being
currently ridden) and/or ridership within 48 hours from checking into their command. In many cases this is
not happening. Failure to comply with the ALMAR subjects the violator to punitive actions under the UCMJ
and possible loss of benefits in the event of a motorcycle accident or mishap involving bodily injury.
Declaration of motorcycle ownership and/or ridership is easy. Contact the HQBN Safety and Environmental
Officer at 703-693-2501 and request that a Motorcycle Operator Information Sheet and Statement of
Understanding (SOU) via email or fax, fill it out and send it back. That's all that is required. Contact Captain
Shane Cooley at 703-614-1563 or at shane.cooley@usmc.mil for more information.

Salvation Army driver, the outreach worker, and volunteers from 24 local churches and other organizations. The volunteer

etc. as available.

CONAD - EPARS
Electronic Personnel Administration Requests (EPARS) are available for use on Marine Online for Marines
attached to the National Capitol Region and fall under Henderson Hall for their administrative needs. However
we have seen that Marines do not know who to properly send the EPAR request to thereby delaying
administrative action on the member’s request. Please send all requests to MSgt Orleath Mattis, CWO2 Brian
Johnson or CWO4 Lattia Nation. When submitting an EPAR source documents are required for proper
processing. Some request may require you to physically come to Henderson Hall such as dependent additions or
loss. If you are required to come to Henderson Hall your EPAR will be annotated and sent back to you. All EPARS
will be answered within 5 days. If you have not received a reply in that time frame please contact the
Consolidated Administration Department at 703-693-7171 as soon as possible.
