Public Works Functional Services & Contacts

General. The USAG Miami Directorate of Public Works (DPW) provides most basic Public Works services through a combination of in-house, service contracts, leasing instruments, and reimbursable services from the US Army Corps of Engineers or other Army and Department of Defense enterprise service providers and partners.

Facility Engineering. DPW provides planning, programming and contract execution of minor construction alterations and improvements to our existing facilities. Larger and more complex minor or major military construction (MILCON) requirements typically require reimbursable programming, design, engineering and construction contracting support from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or other partners. With the exception of major life-cycle facility Restoration and Modernization (R&M) projects, most facility alterations and additions must be funded by the requesting organization.

Facility Operations & Maintenance. DPW operates and maintains all Army owned and leased real property (land, facilities, utilities and other permanent infrastructure) assigned to U.S. Southern Command, Special Operations Command South and other supporting tenant organizations stationed at USAG-Miami sites, through contracted preventative and demand maintenance services.

Military Housing. 

          Privatized Military Housing.  A limited amount of privatized military (both family and unaccompanied) housing is currently under construction adjacent to the garrison’s US Southern Command site in Doral, FL and is expected to become available for occupancy in phases from starting October 2026 through June 2027.  We recommend service members visit our housing partner’s, Centinel Public Partnerships, website (see link below) and sign up for updates as to when waitlists will be operational, there are also floor plans and other details on this planned community.

Private Sector Housing Market.  The private sector rental housing market in South Florida is large, complex and has some unique challenges for service members and families, so it is imperative service members begin researching housing options well in advance of reporting to Miami. We recommend reaching out to your assigned unit sponsor immediately to better understand and plan for those challenges in the event the new privatized housing is not an available option.  

Housing Questions:  (305) 437-2636 Contact Director x1363

Master Planning & Real Property. DPW manages Army real property and leased facilities at two primary sites in South Florida, the U.S. Southern Command site in Doral, FL 33172 and the Special Operations Command South site in Homestead, FL 33039, adjacent to and contiguous with (but not part of) Homestead Air Reserve Base. There is very limited capacity for expansion of our current land and facilities footprint, so it is imperative that activities considering stationing personnel at USAG Miami coordinate that well in advance in accordance with Army Regulation 5-10 (Stationing).
