🚚 Welcome to Charleston
Whether you’re arriving for your first assignment or returning to the Lowcountry, we’ve gathered the resources you need to settle in quickly and start enjoying everything Charleston has to offer.
🇺🇸 Welcome to Joint Base Lindsey Graham
A New Name. The Same Commitment to Our Military Community.
Joint Base Charleston is now Joint Base Lindsey Graham. As our installation begins this new chapter, you may notice the new name appearing across websites, signs, publications, and other installation resources.
While the name is changing, our mission remains the same. The Military & Family Readiness Center will continue providing programs, resources, and support to Service Members, military families, retirees, veterans, and other eligible members of our joint-service community.
🔄 What You May Notice
- New installation name and branding appearing across base resources
- Gradual updates to websites, forms, publications, and signage
- Older references to Joint Base Charleston during the transition
- The same M&FRC programs and support available to our community
See something that still says Joint Base Charleston? Don’t worry. Updating an installation takes time, and you may see both names while the transition is underway.
Our Name Is Changing. Our Mission Isn’t.
We’re still here to help you navigate military life, connect with resources, prepare for what’s ahead, and strengthen your military family.
🔔 Bells Across America
Remembering Their Service. Honoring Their Legacy.
Each September, military communities come together for Bells Across America for Fallen Service Members—a solemn remembrance of Service Members who died while serving our nation and the families who carry their legacy forward.
During the ceremony, the ringing of the bell serves as a powerful reminder that their service, sacrifice, and memory will not be forgotten.
🇺🇸 Join Us in Remembrance
The Joint Base Lindsey Graham community is invited to stand with our surviving families as we pause to honor and remember our fallen.
📅 24 September
🕐 10:00 AM
📍 JBLG – NWS Red Bank Commons (2316 Red Bank Rd. Goose Creek, SC 29445)
Their names are remembered. Their service is honored. Their families remain part of our military community.
🛡️ Suicide Prevention Month
Connection Can Make a Difference
Find Support & Resources
September is Suicide Prevention Month—a reminder that looking out for one another is part of taking care of our military community.
A conversation, a check-in, or simply knowing where to turn can make a difference. Whether you’re concerned about yourself, a family member, friend, coworker, or fellow Service Member, support is available.
🤝 You Don’t Have to Navigate It Alone

🧰 National Preparedness Month
Ready Today. Prepared for Tomorrow.
September is National Preparedness Month—a good time to make sure you and your family are ready for the unexpected.
Military families face unique challenges during emergencies, from deployments and PCS moves to family separation and special medical needs. A little planning now can make a big difference when every minute counts.
✅ Is Your Family Ready?
