Overseas Briefing Center

The Overseas Briefing Center (OBC) is a vital resource and referral facility that provides all U.S. Government employees and their families en route to, or considering, an overseas assignment the opportunity to browse through abundant materials on overseas posts and on the foreign affairs lifestyle. These materials include country briefing boxes containing post-specific information, cultural guides and cross-cultural reference books, and a returnee file of local contacts. The OBC also provides "electronic post boxes," which can be accessed by sending an e-mail to the Overseas Briefing Center.

The Overseas Briefing Center operates as a drop-in facility. It is open Monday through Friday from 8:15 am to 5:00 pm as well as on select Saturdays and Wednesday evenings. For more information call 703-302-7277 or e-mail the Overseas Briefing Center.
