Army Corps of Engineers
Federal construction agency
The Army Corps of Engineers is a branch of the United States Army responsible for engineering projects—building dams, levees, bridges, and other infrastructure.
The Corps manages flood control, maintains navigable waterways, and oversees construction on military bases.
After natural disasters, they often lead emergency response efforts: The Army Corps of Engineers was called in to repair the damaged levee.
