Through its Civil Works directorate, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers provides comprehensive engineering, management and technical support services for hundreds of water-related projects, which protect and restore the environment, enhance the nation's economic prosperity and global competitiveness, and improve the quality of life of all Americans.

The Civil Works directorate has eight primary focus areas: recreation, emergency preparedness and response, flood control, navigation, environment, hydropower, water supply, and regulation. The directorate also provides support to the Army, in peacetime pursuits and during national emergencies, and is playing a key role in Homeland Security. The directorate employs approximately 37,000 people worldwide.
