Historic Transfer of Authority

On August 5, 2025, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers conducted a historic Transfer of Authority ceremony in Winchester, Virginia, marking the official transition of mission oversight of USACE operations in support of U.S. Central Command and U.S. Special Operations Command from the Transatlantic Division, which has led this effort for more than 15 years, to the Southwestern Division.

Following the transition, the Middle East District and the Expeditionary District will seamlessly continue operations under the leadership of the Southwestern Division. This realignment strengthens enterprise-wide efficiency and ensures enduring, focused support to U.S. forces and mission partners across more than 21 countries in the Middle East, Central and South Asia, and the Levant.

Throughout the next few weeks, the Southwestern Division's website will be undergoing updates and changes to reflect the new responsibilities as we continue the legacy and support the ongoing work of the Southwestern Division's two newest districts.
