You may have seen codes like these in magazines or on advertising material lately. Scannable Mobile Phone codes have become very popular in the US in 2011. This particular type is called a QR Code (Quick Response) and its purpose is to quickly and easily connect you to content through your mobile smart phone. Scan one of these symbols with any one of the free scanner apps available, and you are instantly presented with anything from a website link to a photo gallery or video, or even a digital business card.

In May 2011, Fort Belvoir's DFMWR released a QR Code that allows anyone with a scanner to instantly subscribe to our Weekly Newsletter and LIKE our hourly updated Facebook page.
