Huntsville Center Missions

The U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville, supports very specialized missions that require unique technical expertise in programs that are generally national or very broad in scope. The Center supports tasks not normally accomplished by an HQUSACE element; tasks that require a centralized management structure, integrated facilities or systems that cross geographic division boundaries; and tasks that require commonality, standardization, multiple-site adaption or technology transfers.

Unlike the Corps' traditional geographically-based organizations, the Center is not tied to water or other geographic boundaries.

Instead, Huntsville Center is able to provide specialized support to all of the Corps' divisions and districts throughout the world. This web site contains information about programs and services as well as the business processes that have made the Huntsville Center a nationally recognized leader for quality within the federal government.

Theater Construction Management System (TCMS)
Theater Construction Management System (TCMS) is a PC based automated construction planning, design, management, and reporting system that is used by military engineers for contingency construction activities. Its primary purpose is to support OCONUS requirements. It combines state-of-the-art computer hardware and software with Army Facilities Component System (AFCS) design information to support and enhance the accomplishment of engineer mission activities in the theater of operation or other mission arenas.
