Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Southeast was established June 2, 2006, when NAVFAC Southern Division (Charleston, South Carolina), Navy Public Works Center (Jacksonville, Florida) and the Engineering Field Activity (Jacksonville, Florida) were disestablished.
The commissioning of NAVFAC Southeast was part of a major transformation of the Command’s global engineering, acquisition, and public works organizations. NAVFAC's commands, which were comprised of Engineering Field Divisions, Engineering Field Activities, Resident Officers in Charge of Construction (ROICCs), and Public Works Centers (PWC), were consolidated into Facilities Engineering Commands (FECs). This global transformation was designed to enhance efficiency and effectiveness, and improve product and service delivery, making access to the Navy's engineering, acquisition, facilities maintenance, construction, transportation and utilities services easier for Navy Region Southeast.
NAVFAC Southeast now provides the full range of NAVFAC's products and services to Navy Region Southeast. Innovation and transformation have always been part of the three organizations' cultures. Combining them created a "one stop" organization providing the full range of facility engineering, public works and construction services.
The command is headquartered at Building 903 onboard Naval Air Station (NAS) Jacksonville. Only part of the organization works at the headquarters facility as most of the workforce is positioned at ROICC offices at various installations throughout the Region managing operations on Navy installations from Charleston, South Carolina to Corpus Christi, Texas and south to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
