A Mission Built on Service and Readiness

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Fort Worth District stands as a critical component of the nation’s disaster response and recovery framework, demonstrating how engineering expertise and a culture of volunteerism can directly impact lives in times of crisis. From hurricanes along the Gulf and East coasts to wildfires in Hawaii and California, and even international disasters such as Super Typhoon Sinlaku, Fort Worth District personnel have repeatedly answered the call—often by volunteering to deploy into challenging and austere environments.

Making a difference, one project at a time

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers utilizes volunteers as a workforce multiplier across the nation which resulted in an equivalent value of more than $45 million in volunteer hours last year. Volunteers are filling roles at lakes across the nation. More than 2,100 volunteers assisted the Fort Worth District in 2022. Thanks to the volunteers, many of the lakes were able to complete projects that would have otherwise been delayed.
