DIRECTORATE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES (DES)
The 16th Military Police Brigade (Airborne) Commander serves as the Director of the Fort Bragg Directorate of Emergency Services. The DES was established on Oct. 1, 1997. It includes the Fire Department, Provost Marshal Office, Physical Security Division, Access Control, Security and Intelligence Division, and the consolidated 911 Center known as the I2MC. This redesign consolidates emergency response elements for better efficiency and effectiveness.

MILITARY POLICE
The Provost Marshal Office, and units of the 16th Military Police Brigade, provide comprehensive law enforcement, military police and investigative support to the Fort Bragg community. The collective support program is a robust effort to ensure the safety, security and quality of life of each resident, Soldier, civilian and visitor. The importance of a viable MP support structure cannot be overstated, and the level of support provided reflects the commands commitment to Soldiers and their Families. The significant investment of MP resources to the installation is a key factor in the high quality of life and sense of security of our Army Families. Military Police Soldiers patrol the post day and night in radio equipped patrol vehicles. All Military Police Soldiers are easily recognized by the distinct brassard with the letters MP worn on their left shoulder. Parents are urged to tell their children that they can always get help or information from a military policeman. The PMO is the focal point for all criminal complaints and traffic investigations.

An MP or DA Police Officer is dispatched from the I2MC based on a call to 911. The primary point of contact for all incidents is the I2MC (911 Center). The 911 Center is a 24-hour operation and can be reached at 911.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
The Fort Bragg Fire Department provides fire and emergency services for Fort Bragg, Simmons Army Airfield and Camp MacKall. The City of Fayetteville and local community fire departments augment Fort Bragg’s capabilities.

The Budget Office manages funding for DPW and provides liaison with the Mission and Installation Contracting Command.

The Business Operations/Integration Division receives and prioritizes work requests for all on-post facilities other than family housing. This is usually the customer’s first stop when requesting maintenance, repair or modification of buildings, utility systems, roads, grounds or any other real property facility.

The Environmental Division coordinates Fort Bragg’s Integrated Strategic Environmental Plan through the Environmental Sustainment Office (ESO) and the Natural Resources Division (NRD). The division manages programs in four major areas: Compliance, Pollution Prevention, Conservation and Restoration. ESO advises tenant units and activities of actions necessary to comply with existing environmental laws and regulations, and trains unit representatives on the proper handling and disposal of hazardous and special wastes. The ESO is also responsible for the cleanup of soil and groundwater contamination sites throughout the installation. NRD manages all natural resources on Fort Bragg using a total ecosystem management process. This enables Fort Bragg to regularly conduct timber and forest product sales while providing recreational hunting and fishing opportunities for Soldiers, civilians and Family members. This management process also promotes the recovery of five federally listed endangered species, which are managed in concert with Fort Bragg’s training mission. The Cultural Resources Program rounds out the ESO mission. This resource program includes identifying, cataloging and managing archeological sites, as well as significant historical structures.

The Housing Division provides management and operation for both on- and off-post Army Family Housing. The division provides contract supervision for on-post housing of its commercial partner Picerne Military Housing, which handles construction, maintenance, renovation and repair of family housing assets, as well as bachelor officer and senior non-commissioned officer housing. The division also provides certificates of non-availability for single Soldiers, private through staff sergeant, who are approved to live off post. Fort Bragg has over 6,000 family housing units comprised of two-, three- and four-bedroom multiple apartments, duplexes and single houses in thirteen communities located on Fort Bragg. Additionally, there are 250 two- and four-bedroom homes near Raeford, N.C., which are leased for enlisted Soldiers of all ranks. Normally there is a waiting period for each category of housing. Housing assignments are determined by grade category and bedroom requirements. To apply for on-post or leased family housing, Soldiers need to come to the Housing Office located in Hardy Hall, Building D-3705 on Darby Loop near the Post Exchange Mini Mall. All soldiers are required to contact the Community Home-finding, Relocation and Referral Services (CHRRS) before making commitments for off-post housing. When on-post quarters are unavailable, CHRRS assists in finding off-post housing.

The Master Planning Division provides long- term management from construction through demolition of real property. The Master Planning Division develops and maintains the Fort Bragg Real Property Master Plan to include the long range component, the short-range component, the capital investment strategy and the real property master planning digest. The division manages and coordinates all real estate actions to include leases, easements, rights of way, in-grants and out-grants. Master Planning Division accomplishes the following tasks:

• Accomplishes initial planning and site selection for all proposed facilities.
• Develops the project proposal (DD1391) to secure funding from Congress.

These include general building maintenance, carpentry, painting, plumbing and interior electrical work. The division maintains roads and grounds as well as managing an urban forestry program. It conducts maintenance on special equipment such as bay doors, personnel doors, locks, kitchen equipment, cranes and hoists.

The division also manages small contracts for projects such as garbage collection, portable toilets, window and door replacement, lawn maintenance, pumping and cleaning of grease traps, field latrines, septic tanks and refuse collection.

DIRECTORATE OF PLANS, TRAINING, MOBILIZATION and Security
The Directorate of Plans, Training and Mobilizations has a very complex and vital role in preparing our Soldiers and units for deployment and recovery. DPTM provides and synchronizes resources to conduct planning, training, operations, mobilization, deployment and modernization to support the Soldier and enhance the greater Fort Bragg community. Additionally DPTM is also responsible for airfield operations, mobilization of reserve and National Guard forces, training ranges, museums and training integration.

DPTM is responsible for oversight of installation aviation matters, to include operating
and maintaining our two fixed base facilities; Simmons Army Airfield and Camp Mackall’s
airfield. They also coordinate airspace utilization for DoD/civil aviation operations at these airfields in support of tactical/non-tactical
operations.

The Plans and Operations Division provides and synchronizes operational requirements in support of the Fort Bragg garrison, to include Emergency Operations, Community Activities, Distinguished Visitors, Ceremonies, Force Modernization and Contractual Oversight of Mobilization/Demobilization. For mobilization and demobilization, Fort Bragg’s mission is to train, mobilize, deploy, sustain and redeploy combat ready forces from the Active, Reserve Component and National Guard while caring for Soldiers, employees, retirees and Families. We do this by processing, housing, supporting, equipping, training, validating, deploying and redeploying Reserve Component and National Guard units.

Fort Bragg has more than 138,000 acres of training areas that are maintained and controlled by DPTM. It ensures our 86 ranges are always ready for use and updated to help maximize our Soldiers’ training experience. DPTM operates two museums, the 82nd Airborne Division War Memorial Museum, located here on post on Ardennes Street, and the Airborne and Special Operations Museum located at the intersection of Hay Street and Bragg Boulevard in downtown Fayetteville. Both museums are well known for their exciting displays and ease of understanding our great history.

DPTM’s Training Integration Division provides resources and training support services for Fort Bragg Soldiers, DA Civilians and reserve component units.
