Having worked at Ft. Belvoir, yes, the complex is sprawling. Any Metro rail station would have to be served by multiple shuttle bus/van routes to make it workable. That's assuming DoD would even ALLOW a rail station there in the first place. They're hyper sensitive to security issues.

I'd say a Route 1 light rail line from Huntington makes the most financial sense, both in terms of local development and service to Belvoir. Those billions should be spent improving/expanding service at the core. The majority of Belvoir workers commute from SOUTH of Belvoir; Metro isn't even an option. The rest drive in from outside the beltway: Sterling, Dulles, and even parts of Southern Maryland where the mass transit option is time prohibitive.
