Commander

The POD Commander leads an organization that is required to constantly adapt its processes and engineering techniques to stay relevant and provide value added in a dynamic global environment.  Pacific Ocean Division changes as the needs of the nation change, in peace and war.  Yet, the one thing that remains constant is the Division’s vision, values, and enduring principles—our core ideology:

Mission:   Pacific Ocean Division delivers sustainable and resilient engineering solutions, in collaboration with our Indo-Asia-Pacific partners, to promote regional security, responsible development, and disaster risk reduction and response capabilities.

Vision:  To be the trusted Engineer of choice and a responsive partner to all whom we support across the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. 

Values:  We are proud to be part of an Army that is the best in the world and we embrace our Army Values: Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage. They inspire and shape the way we live and work.  They are non-negotiable.

Enduring Principles:  The four components of the Pacific Ocean Division’s core ideology are Trusted Engineering, Service Excellence, Measurable Performance, and Workforce Fulfillment.

• Trusted Engineering – The foundation upon which our organization is built.  Engineering is our singular reason for being.  We achieve trust through our ability to: deliver sound engineering solutions; demonstrate responsible stewardship of taxpayer resources; and operate our business processes efficiently. 

• Service Excellence – Our promise to customers, stakeholders, and the public.  The basis of service excellence rests upon the shoulders of a workforce that strives to maximize customer satisfaction.    Effective communication, timely and consistent responsiveness, and a clear focus on relationship building assure our long-term success.

• Measurable Performance – How we know we’re doing our best.  Individual and collective accountability are critical components for delivering trusted engineering.  Using our Implementation Plan (IPlan) with an embedded compilation of targeted, credible and achievable benchmarks, we routinely gauge our performance and make adjustment accordingly. 

• Workforce Fulfillment – A people-oriented culture characterized by “Army Values,” pride, camaraderie, personal growth, and diversity—working hard yet keeping it fun.  When our team members feel good about their contributions, are fully using their skills and learning new ones, respect their colleagues, have a pleasant work environment and have fun—they do what’s right for our customers, stakeholders and the nation.
