We deliver our program through five districts, four withing the Continental United States, The Fort Worth and Galveston Districts in Texas, the Little Rock District in Arkansas and the Tulsa District in Oklahoma. Outside the Continental United States, the Middle East District, headquartered in Virginia, is responsible for the Division’s contingency operations assets.
Fort Worth District manages water resource development for two-thirds of Texas and oversees military and interagency construction in Texas and Louisiana. Covering 140,000 square miles with over 1,200 employees, the district operates 25 reservoirs, three hydropower plants, and 350+ recreation areas, preventing over $155 billion in flood damages through Fiscal Year 2023. Its mission spans flood risk management, water supply, environmental stewardship, and military construction at key bases.
Galveston District plays a key role in America’s well-being by keeping waterways open for navigation and commerce and serves the nation as part of the world’s largest public engineering, design and construction management agency. Encompassing the Texas coast from Louisiana to Mexico - an area that spans across 50,000 square miles, includes 48 counties, two parishes and 16 congressional districts.
Little Rock District serves most of Arkansas and southern Missouri with both military and civil missions. As a full-spectrum engineering force of dedicated soldiers and civilians, the district supports service members and their families while developing and maintaining regional infrastructure. The district oversees nearly 750,000 acres of public land and water, helps preserve water quality, and produces enough hydroelectricity to power up to 400,000 households. Its projects have prevented over $7.5 billion in flood damage and support drinking water supply, navigation, and recreation.
Tulsa District’s civil works boundaries include Oklahoma and parts of southern Kansas and northern Texas. The district's Civil Works mission is one of the largest in the Corps of Engineers; it includes 38 multipurpose lakes which include five lock and dams on the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System. Although the primary purpose of district lakes is flood reduction, they also provide recreation, water supply, hydropower, navigation, and fish and wildlife habitat. The district's 150 miles of the MKARNS boasts the most inland, ice-free river port in America and provides waterway commerce to the heartland of the country. District projects have prevented billions of dollars in flood damages and the district's eight hydropower facilities provide about $52 million in annual sales. The district has 240 parks with more campsites -- 6,000-- than any other district in the Corps.
