Fort Belvoir is roughly 23 miles from Washington
It is not clear exactly how many sites were targeted, but NBC reports that suspicious packages were sent to National Defense University at Fort McNair and Fort Belvoir in Virginia, where the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency is headquartered.
At approximately 11 a.m., Naval Support Facility Dahlgren in King George County, Va. also received a suspicious package that was found to be safe, officials said.
Law enforcement officials said the packages were sent through the mail.
The package tested positive for black powder, which can be used to make explosives, according to Fort McNair. The parcel tested positive for black powder, a substance found in explosive devices, and an X-ray scan appeared to show a Global Positioning System locator and fuse attachment.
Army spokesman Michael L. Howard confirmed that the package was found to be safe.
An X-ray of the package indicated a suspected Global Positioning System and an expedient fuse were attached, Army officials said.
There were no injuries reported.

Passengers stranded as pilot found drunk before takeoff in Stuttgart
German authorities chose to keep the plane on the ground, though it was not immediately clear if the 40-year-old co-pilot was detained.
One of those packages contained liquid in a vial and a circuit board, according to law enforcement officials.
After a K-9 sweep at the National Defense University at Fort McNair, the location was cleared for reentry. The package was rendered safe.
The FBI is reportedly working to determine whether each of the boxes contained functioning explosives, or replica devices, as well as who is behind the packages. Some included letters that one official described as disturbed and rambling.
Officials do not believe the packages are linked to the bombings in Austin, Texas.
Just hours later, additional reports rolled in detailing a number of other suspicious packages, all found at military or government installations.
The FBI is examining all of the packages.
