Overview

Welcome to Japan!

Japan Engineer District (JED) is one of 43 districts within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the nation's oldest and largest engineering organization. As the executive agent for military design and construction in Japan, JED delivers professional engineering and construction services to all U.S. Forces, supporting both peacetime and contingency operations.

JED manaes U.S. and Host Nation-funded projects at approximately 90 sites across Japan and Okinawa, including airfields, hospitals, operational facilities, housing, and recreational centers. Unlike most stateside districts, JED does not have a civil works mission but leads a robust Host Nation Construction program in collaboration with the Japanese government. This program ensures projects meet U.S. safety and operational standards while maximizing investment returns.

JED partners closely with the Government of Japan, regional Defense Bureaus, and military installations to provide engineering, construction, training, and environmental expertise. Committed to ISO 9001 standards, JED prioritizes quality, safety, and efficiency in every project.

Joining JED means contributing to mission-critical infrastructure that supports U.S. service members and their families in Japan. When you work with the Japan Engineer District you're not only strengthening America's Pacific defense, you're having a great time while doing so!
