This program makes up the largest portion of our workload. We design and construct facilities for the Army and Air Force in Alaska and Hawaii and for all Department of Defense agencies in Kwajalein Atoll. In support of the U.S. Pacific Command's strategy, we design and construct facilities for all U.S. Forces in Korea and Japan. The program includes new construction, host nation projects, master planning, environmental services, and other engineering studies. The Pacific Ocean Division further supports installations through operation and maintenance, non-appropriated fund and family housing programs.

Ensuring Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors and Marines and their families have the best possible facilities in which to work, train, live and spend off-duty time is a fundamental goal of the Pacific Ocean Division. Our contribution to communities of excellence focuses on quality maintenance and repair of existing facilities, as well as on planning, design and construction of new facilities.

The Pacific Ocean Division administers federal water resource development programs in Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. This work is accomplished through the Alaska and Honolulu Engineer Districts. Project purposes include navigation, flood damage reduction, shore protection, and environmental restoration. The Districts also administer the regulatory program governing development and fill in navigable waters and wetlands. This program protects waters from obstructions to navigation, assures conservation of water resources, and preserves the precious natural environment.
