US Army Corpsof EngineersHonolulu District

Army engineers came to Hawaii in 1904 to establish a permanentHonolulu District in 1905. The first District Engineer was Lieutenant JohnSlattery. The Corps’ initial missions in Hawaii were to build lighthouses toassist safe coastal navigation, improve rivers and harbors and build coastalmilitary fortifications.

In the early 1900s, the Corps dredged Honolulu Harbor and PearlHarbor and built lighthouses and coastal artillery batteries at such places

as Fort Ruger at Dia-mond Head and BatteryRandolph at FortDeRussy. Lt. Slatteryalso purchased 74acres of land at Waikiki,then frequently-floodedproperty of little value,for $2,700 an acre.

During the WorldWar II era, the Hono-lulu District built is-

land airfields from Hawaii to Australia, supervised war-relatedand civilian engineer activities and was responsible for gas ra-tioning. At the height of the war, the District employed 26,000people.

After World War II, Honolulu District had responsibility forall Air Corps and Army construction throughout the Pacific. Thisincluded the completion of such famous projects as the TriplerArmy Medical Center and the National Memorial Cemetery ofthe Pacific at Punchbowl.

Today, Honolulu District’s 400 men and women pro-vide a wide range of engineering and scientific skillsand services that benefit our nation’s armed forces, thecitizens of Hawaii and the people of the Pacific region.

The District’s highly qualified and dedicated staffdoes everything from designing and overseeing con-struction of military family housing and operationalfacilities, to improving and maintaining harbors, pro-tecting wetlands and the environment, and preparingfor and providing assistance in times of emergencyand natural disaster.
