The Civilian Personnel Advisory Center at JBLM is made up of a team of human resources professionals dedicated to supporting and empowering service members, civilians, families and veterans worldwide in an era of persistent conflict. The CPAC office is responsible for recruiting, retaining and sustaining a high-quality volunteer force through innovative and effective enterprise solutions and ensures human resources readiness across the full spectrum of operations.

The ballroom is available for unit parties, ceremonies and other functions. It’s also where plays, shows and other events happen.

Come and drive your all-terrain vehicle or dirt bike in the ORV park. Hours vary as the course is a shared training area, and therefore may not be available at certain times. Please register with the Shotgun Shooting Complex prior to entry and use of the park. +1(253)967-7056.

The park is located about a mile out southside of Scouts Out gate on 2nd Division Range Rd. The gravel parking lot on the left is a staging area for the park.  The ORV park can be accessed through East Gate Rd. From East Gate, make the first right and follow the road to a fork. Stay right and continue until the staging area comes up on right.
