Fort Walker,[8] formerly Fort A.P. Hill, is a training and maneuver center belonging to the United States Army located near the town of Bowling Green, Virginia. The center focuses on arms training and is used by all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, independent of any post.[9]

As such, the units being trained will coordinate with Fort Walker's Installation Safety Office, the Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization, and Security, the Regional Training Support Center, Fort Walker's Plans, Analysis and Integration Office, the Directorate of Public Works, and the Directorate of Resource Management.

A Post Exchange and Commissary are a 40-minute drive away, at Fort Belvoir; online purchases can be trans-shipped to Fort Walker.[10]

C-17s and C-130s can land at the Fort Walker Airstrip. There is a jump zone, and drop zone.[9]
