The Northwestern Division is one of nine U.S. Army Corps of Engineers divisions. The five districts of the Northwestern Division consistently achieve top marks for mission execution, customer satisfaction, and quality products.The Kansas City, Omaha, and Seattle Districts have a preponderance of military and environmental projects whereas the Portland and Walla Walla districts have larger civil works programs. Awesome in its geographical breadth, economic, political and cultural diversity, the Northwestern Division is nearly 2,000 miles wide, enveloping 14 states, 65 Congressional districts and 147 sovereign tribal nations. Two of the country's longest rivers – the Missouri and Columbia – drain nearly one million square miles within its boundaries stretching from Seattle, Washington, to St. Louis, Missouri. Its civil works, military, and environmental programs surpass $3.0 billion annually.The Northwestern Division manages its districts' civil works activities based on river basins rather than state boundaries. Primary civil works missions encompass flood control, navigation, hydropower, fish and wildlife, water quality and irrigation, recreation, and disaster response. Within its jurisdiction are 80 dams and reservoirs, 29 hydropower plants, and 1,600 miles of navigable channels.Military boundaries are organized along state lines. Major military programs include providing design and construction support to key Army and Air Force installations and managing almost two million acres of military real estate for the Department of Defense. An environmental restoration program oversees cleanup of hazardous, toxic, and radioactive sites for the military, the Environmental Protection Agency, and other federal agencies. In recent years, nearly 800 Northwestern Division volunteers have stepped to the forefront in support of the Global War on Terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan, lending their skills in the reconstruction efforts.
