The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and its Southwestern Division regional team of professionals are dedicated to providing engineering excellence with integrity and credibility to our Nation, our Armed Forces and the communities we serve.
The Southwestern Division, a Major Subordinate Command of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, has served the region since 1937, overseeing hundreds of water resources development and military design and construction projects. Since that early beginning, the Division continues to grow in expertise and missions, seeking innovative solutions for future challenges.
The Division's regional team, which includes four District offices in Little Rock, Ark., Tulsa, Okla., and Galveston and Fort Worth, Texas, provides diverse engineering and construction expertise and other services in all or part of seven states. The Division's area of responsibility covers some 2.3 million acres of public land and water, with an annual program totaling nearly $3 billion.
The Division's 90 lakes have prevented some $1.3 billion in average annual flood damage while providing 7.7 million acre-feet of water supply storage. The Division's recreation areas are the most visited in the Corps, with the Division managing more than 11,400 miles of shoreline and 1,172 recreation sites.
More than a half billion tons of commerce are shipped annually over the Division's 1,458 miles of channels, including some 22 shallow-draft ports, 12 deep-draft ports, and 22 lock chambers, ranking it second in the Corps for navigation. The Division's 18 hydropower plants provide enough electricity to power more than three-quarters of a million homes.
Nearly one-fifth of our Nation's military activities, covering an area of some 443,700 square miles, are located within the Division's boundaries. The Division provides new facilities, rehabilitates older ones, and provides other services at 11 Air Force and 10 Army installations. The Division is also providing mission-critical facilities in support of U.S. Army Transformation under the Army Modular Force, Integrated Global Positioning and Basing Strategy, Grow the Force, and Base Realignment and Closure initiatives.
In addition to the valuable contributions it provides each day to the communities it serves, the Division supports emergency response and recovery efforts when hurricanes or other natural disasters occur, whether within or beyond its area of responsibility.
The Southwestern Division has supported our Nation’s Global War on Terror since 2001; and, its Engineering and Construction Support Office is executing important national security projects for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
