More on United States Army Corps of Engineers
Description from Wikipedia:
The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is a federal agency and a major Army command made up of some 34,600 civilian and 650 military personnel, making it the world's largest public engineering, design and construction management agency. Although generally associated with dams, canals and flood protection in the United States, USACE is involved in a wide range of public works support to the nation and to Department of Defense throughout the world.
The Corps's mission is to provide military and public works services to the United States by providing vital engineering services and capabilities, as a public service, across the full spectrum of operations--from peace to war--in support of national interests. Their most visible missions include
* Planning, designing, building, and operating locks and dams. Other civil engineering projects include flood control, beach nourishment, and dredging for waterway navigation.
* Design and construction of flood protection systems (as in New Orleans) through various federal mandates (see Public Laws below).
* Design and construction management of military facilities for the Army and Air Force and other Defense and Federal agencies.
* Environmental regulation and ecosystem restoration.
