Set within the austere terrain of the Kuwaiti desert, Camp Arifjan is pivotal for U.S. military operations in the Middle East and serves as a temporary home for many. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Transatlantic Expeditionary District is transforming living conditions with the construction of the Unaccompanied Officers Quarters, a sleek, comfortable facility for 300 U.S. military officers. The project, celebrated with a ribbon-cutting attended by key USACE, U.S. Army Central, Kuwait Ministry of Defense, Kuwait Armed Forces, and U.S. Embassy officials on April 23, marks a significant enhancement of service member life at Camp Arifjan.
“This project in particular holds great importance as it directly enhances the quality of life for our military members deployed to Camp Arifjan and underscores our commitment to their well-being and readiness in fulfilling their missions. This project perfectly aligns with the mission and goals of the Transatlantic Division by providing essential engineering, construction, and contingency support to ARCENT and U.S. CentralCommand. Camp Arifjan's significance as a key base in the Middle East necessitates continuous improvements in force protection and quality of life. This initiative strengthens our ability to effectively operate in the region."." – Brig. Gen. William C. Hannan, Jr., USACE Transatlantic Division commanding general.
