<P>20The Military Engineer l November-December l 2009 Military News Compiled by Meighan Altwies, M.SAME USACE Stands Up Transatlantic Division, Realigns Forward-Based Districts The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) on Oct. 1 stood up the Trans- atlantic Division (TAD) to provide unity of command for all USACE programs in the U.S. Central Command (USCENT- COM) area of operations. The new di- vision has oversight responsibility for all USACE organizations in this volatile region: Transatlantic Programs Center (TAC), Gulf Region Division (GRD) and Afghanistan Engineer District (AED). USCENTCOM has operational control of U.S. security interests in the 20 coun- tries from Egypt through the Arabian Gulf to Central Asia. The commands area of operations has been a hotbed of activity for the last few decades, and especially for the past eight years. Within USACE, one division is re- sponsible for providing engineer sup- port to every combatant commander, except for USCENTCOM, said Col. Ste- ven Roemhildt, USA, TAD Deputy Com- mander. This new division will con- solidate and synchronize USACE efforts for this critically-important customer and in this region. TAD will be responsible for military construction and interagency and inter- national support missions throughout the region. During the next few years, an annual workload of approximately $4 billion is anticipated. TAD will have 57 inidividuals assigned to its headquarters in Winchester, Va., where it is currently co-located with TAC. TAD established initial operating capability on June 1 with 18 new hires, reaching full operat- ing capability in time for an Oct. 1 cer- emony during which Brig. Gen. Kendall Cox, M.SAME, USA, assumed command of the new division. The buildup of U.S. forces in Afghan- istan has increased facility require- ments, requiring a second district be added at Kandahar. Afghanistan Engineer District will continue to be based in Kabul and will be called AED North, Col. Roemhildt said. The new district, AED South at Kandahar, will manage engineer mis- sions in the southern and western prov- inces of the country. Concurrently, GRD began its trans- formation resulting from the drawdown of U.S. forces in Iraq. On July 20, the Gulf Region North and Gulf Region Central districts merged to become Gulf Region District. Remaining in Iraq will be Gulf Region District, Gulf Region South Dis- trict and a smaller organization to sup- port U.S. Forces-Iraq. The division staff is being drawn down in proportion to the decreased workload. When fully operational, TAD will provide unity of command and efforts for all USACE organizations in this region, Col. Roemhildt said. It will have ?ve districts—two in Iraq, two in Afghanistan and Middle East District, which will be the new name for Trans- atlantic Programs Center. Since contingency operations be- gan in 2001, TAC has provided project management, technical, contracting and other support services as required by forward-based USACE organiza- tions. TAC also relies on other USACE organizations to support the military construction requirements, such as Omaha, Mobile, and Philadelphia dis- tricts, and the Engineering and Support Center Huntsville, Ala. TAD will take this effort a step fur- ther by consolidating the requirements and setting the priorities for USACE support for operations throughout the Middle East and Central Asia, Col. Roemhildt said. Providing the divi- sion oversight role, we will balance the resources to develop the permanent reach-back network for engineering and design, legal and business manage- ment functions.
