"We solve complex problems, and we help people."

This mantra has embodied the work of the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for the past 250 years.

On this, the 250th Birthday of the Corps, the Disaster Tough Podcast hears the perspective of Major General Jason Kelly, its Deputy Commanding General of Civil & Emergency Operations.

MG Kelly has an extensive military background, including 30+ years in USACE.  

In this episode, he and DTP host, John Scardena, discuss a wide range of topics including:

• USACE's history dates back to the birth of America shortly after the Revolution
• The corps' efforts to make sure disasters don't do MORE damage than is necessary
• How USACE thinks about infrastructure from a security, risk management, response, and financial point of view
• Counseling and advising leaders and stakeholders from a technical standpoint, regardless of politics
• USACE's work with FEMA and other entities is to be ready for disasters such as the upcoming hurricane season on the East Coast, or the recent fire season and cleanup efforts on the West Coast.

As Major General Kelly says, "We deal with concrete and steel, but we don't PLACE concrete, and we don't PLACE any steel.  We do that with partners."

On this Monday, June 16, DTP celebrates and honors the US Army Corps of Engineers for the way they have fulfilled this mission, and their partnership and contribution to America's prosperity and success.
