up of approximately 34,600 Civilian and 650 military members. Our military and

leaders in engineering and environmental matters. Our diverse workforce of

other professionals meets the demands of changing times and requirements as a

Our mission is to provide service to the
Armed Forces and a Nation at peace or war by designing, constructing, operating,

Today, as always, we stand ready... engineers,
scientists, real estate specialists and administrators alike to meet national
security, emergency and other national requirements.
