Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.Each year the Sacramento District of the United States Army Corps of Engineers must submit an estimate of its available project capacity for input to the President's Budget request. Currently, the District estimates this amount based on past experience and regression analysis on limited data. We develop a project capacity and leveling model for the Sacramento District Office. We use historical data provided by the Sacramento District from 2009 to 2011 to build and test the mixed integer linear programming model. The model assists the District with estimating its capacity for additional work for budget submission. Results of the model show the effects of allowing projects to shift forward or back in time in the schedule and adding project work on employee utilization, contractor utilization, and leveling monthly project work. We recommend expanding the model with more detailed resource requirements for each project to identify for the Sacramento District where to allocate its scarce resources to achieve the best effects for total project portfolio management.

Full textAbstract:
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is a federal agency with a mission to develop water resource projects to benefit the nation. Some of its large scale projects have been built to benefit cities, but through unintended consequences have caused economic and environmental damages. For example, its control of Mississippi River flooding has protected the City of New Orleans, but contributed to land loss in coastal Louisiana, and by some accounts, made the population more susceptible to hurricane damage. The agency has now embarked on a mission to restore some of the damaged environmental areas. This dissertation evaluates whether policies and practices used by the agency to evaluate and select plans to implement is logically flawed and could produce suboptimal project selection. The primary issue is the practice of including only implementation costs in the analysis while excluding other positive and negative economic impacts. A case study is performed using the method to evaluate a traditional economic development project for which optimal project selection has already been determined using widely accepted benefit-cost practices. The results show that the Corps' environmental project evaluation method would cause rejection of the most efficient plan. The loss of welfare that would result from using this technique is measured by comparing the welfare gain of the optimal project to the welfare gain of the suboptimal projects which could be selected using the flawed methodology. In addition, the dissertation evaluates whether suboptimal results could be produced using two other current Corps policies: selecting projects based on production efficiency, and the exclusion of environmental benefits from the discounting process. For the first policy, a simple counter example shows how clearly inferior choices may come from including only supply considerations in investment choices. For the second policy, it is demonstrated mathematically that refraining from discounting benefits while discounting costs causes a bias towards selection of plans that take longer to build, are delayed in their implantation, or a combination of the two.

HistoryM.A.
Today the responsibility of water resource management issues such as irrigation, flood control, hydroelectric power, pollution control, and data research and mapping are divided among the Army Corps of Engineers, the Department of the Interior, the Department of Agriculture, the Federal Power Commission, and federal service agencies such as the U.S. Public Health Service. In the 1950s the Commission on the Organization of the Executive Branch of the Government attempted to consolidate all the federal water resource responsibilities under one single agency. The Commission argued that the lack of coordination in water resource management caused overlapping jurisdiction and wasted time and money. This paper elaborates on the fight to create a single water resource agency and why water resource management remains balkanized to this day.

Joint Applied ProjectThe objective of this project is to describe, analyze, and recommend the strategy and process of using an Army volunteer civilian contracting deployable workforce in Iraq and Afghanistan particularly in terms of the U S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) accomplishing the contingency contracting mission, and completing the construction portion of the reconstruction efforts. The Corps has been extensively involved in the nation building effort in Iraq/Afghanistan using its civilian volunteers for deployment. To support this additional mission, the USACE has deployed civilian contingency contracting personnel to Iraq and Afghanistan. This project will analyze the extent to which the USACE strategies and structures are accomplishing the mission, particularly in terms of new and emerging wartime needs and expectations. Also analyzed are subsidiary factors such as an aging defense workforce and possible impacts on the Iraq/Afghanistan contracting mission. Conclusions will be drawn on the extent to which the current volunteer structure appears to be working and possible areas for improvement. Recommendations will be offered on ways to encourage civilians to volunteer for assignments with the USACE Gulf Region Division (GRD) and as yet undefined future contingency operations.

Full textAbstract:
This is a policy implementation case study. The case is the relocation of the Town of North Bonneville, Washington, by the U.S. Army Corps of engineers. Three questions are addressed in this study. One, did the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in relocating the Town, accomplish what was intended to be accomplished? Two, how and why were Federal policies applicable to the relocation of this town changed during the implementation process? Three, what can the North Bonneville experience contribute to existent knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of policy implementation? The principal precepts for policy implementation promoted by this study of the relocation of the Town of North Bonneville, Washington, are as follows: (1) Implementing agencies must recognize and consider what they have to do or may have to do to accomplish what they are intended to accomplish,not merely what they want to do or expect to do. Potential impediments to implementation that are unrecognized and unconsidered may fail to develop, but unless addressed problems cannot be solved. (2) Implementing agencies must expeditiously study and understand the policies that they are assigned to implement. Failure of understanding presents the appearance of ambiquity; indeed, even the clearest policy is effectively ambiquous if it is not understood. (3) Implementing agencies must promptly and plainly explain the policies they are charged with implementing to affected and interested persons or groups. Failure to explain leaves affected and interested persons or groups to form their own expectations of what the policy is, which expectations if erroneous may be difficult to dislodge. (4) Implementing agencies must attend that once a policy is stated and explained all subsequent actions are consistent with the policy as stated and that any action that may appear to constitute a deviation is adequately explained. Otherwise the credibility of the agency and of the policy being implemented by the agency is undermined.

Full textAbstract:
This study consisted of an examination of how service quality should be measured within libraries and how library service quality relates to library success. A modified version of the SERVQUAL instrument was evaluated to determine how effectively it measures library service quality. Instruments designed to measure information center success and information system success were evaluated to determine how effectively they measure library success and how they relate to SERVQUAL. A model of library success was developed to examine how library service quality relates to other variables associated with library success. Responses from 385 end users at two U.S. Army Corps of Engineers libraries were obtained through a mail survey. Results indicate that library service quality is best measured with a performance-based version of SERVQUAL, and that measuring importance may be as critical as measuring expectations for management purposes. Results also indicate that library service quality is an important factor in library success and that library success is best measured with a combination of SERVQUAL and library success instruments. The findings have implications for the development of new instruments to more effectively measure library service quality and library success as well as for the development of new models of library service quality and library success.

Inflexibility, failure to adapt technology, and overly regulatory processes frustrate construction industry productivity and reduce the likelihood that large infrastructure projects will be delivered on-schedule and on-budget. Divergence from entrenched project delivery methods can provide flexibility to project managers and offers advantages for improving quality, collaboration, costs, and timeliness. The objective of this research is to provide the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) recommendations for their Project Management Business Process (PMBP). This study reviews the current state of project management in USACE, conducts a structured systems architecture analysis of the PMBP, evaluates USACE project statistics, assesses alternative project delivery methods through a literature review, and provides case studies to consider the implementation impediments of alternative methods for public and private projects. USACE serves as the nation's largest public engineering agency with responsibilities in military construction, civil works, water navigation, environmental restoration, and disaster response. This research concludes with recommendations for selecting alternative project delivery methods best-fit to meet the distinct needs of each USACE business program. Explicitly, the application of Integrated Project Delivery is best suited for highly specialized, technical projects for military construction and interagency support, but also presents contractual challenges notyet adapted for USACE. Public Private Partnerships show promise for possible future implementation in civil works projects, but require further refinement through the USACE Pilot Program. Lastly, Construction Management at Risk is the most mature alternative method for USACE, and can provide Project Managers with additional options in fast-tracking and early contractor involvement. Essentially, the flexibility of PMBP project delivery should match the vast diversity of USACE's missions.

Full textAbstract:
The United States Corps of Engineers is a federal agency responsible for regulating impacts to wetlands. Permit applications requesting authorization to impact wetlands are reviewed using a three step sequence: avoidance, minimization and compensatory mitigation. A national goal of no net loss of wetland acreage and function in compensatory mitigation has been recommended since 1987.Thirty Norfolk District projects requiring compensatory wetland mitigation in the permit years 1996-1998 were randomly selected for field review. The results showed that 10% of the project were never initiated or completed. Another 19% of the projects showed a net loss of acreage. However, many projects exceeded their required mitigation acreage. The mitigation types included creation/restoration (18 permits), commercial mitigation bank (3 permits), and an in-lieu fee trust fund (9 permits). Overall 1.76 acres were mitigated for every acre of wetland impacted. Creation/restoration projects had the highest ratio (2 acres mitigated for every acre impacted and the mitigation bank realized 1.82 acres for every acre impacted. Therefore, this study indicated that the Norfolk District is gaining more than 1 acre of wetland mitigation for every acre impacted, thus meeting the goal of no net loss of wetland acreage.

Full textAbstract:
The second half of the 18th century saw the formation of the first establishments to provide formal training to officers prior to receiving their first commission. The first school, the Royal Military Academy, was formed in 1741 by the Board of Ordnance to train Artillery and Engineer Officers. It was 1800 before the army formed a similar establishment and the building blocks were in place for the creation of the Scientific Soldier. This thesis will look at the formation of the Royal Military Academy and look at the training that officers received with a focus on those officers destined to serve during the Peninsular War. The complementary roles and training of the Royal Military Artificers and the eventual formation of the School of Military Engineering will be described. A thorough review will then be undertaken of the officers in the Royal Engineers, the numbers, their background, the locations they served in and the tasks they carried out. A new review of the sieges during the war will be completed using unpublished material. The other roles undertaken by the Royal Engineers in the Peninsular War will be fully investigated and described. These roles are more comprehensive than has been commonly understood and will demonstrate the contribution of the educated officer to the war. The thesis will conclude by looking at the impacts of the post-war peace on military education.

Full textAbstract:
Este trabalho se propõe a abordar a construção de um conjunto de estratégias voltadas ao desenvolvimento econômico do estado de Minas Gerais a partir, especialmente, do início do século XX e sobretudo da atuação de uma elite tecno-burocrata que, originalmente, foi composta pelos engenheiros formados pela Escola de Minas de Ouro Preto e, posteriormente, por engenheiros formados principalmente pela Escola de Engenharia da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais e, por fim, pelos economistas graduados pela Faculdade de Administração e Ciências Econômicas da mesma universidade. Procura, neste sentido, discutir a possibilidade de ter surgido, em Minas, agenda dedicada ao planejamento da economia e à intervenção por parte do poder público já desde o princípio do século XX. Nela, elementos como a modernização agrícola, a diversificação produtiva, o ensino técnico e profissionalizante, a exploração mineral e a implantação da grande siderurgia forjaram uma consciência regional que percebia, no Estado, seu formulador, organizador e financiador primordial e, notadamente no corpo técnico, seu mais perfeito executor. O trabalho também procura abordar como essa consciência regional se constrói na oposição estabelecida com países ou regiões desenvolvidas, pautando as estratégias regionais sempre por constante e reafirmada avaliação de atraso relativo da economia mineira. Discorre sobre os mecanismos de mobilização desta agenda, por meio da análise de planos regionais de desenvolvimento que se sucedem entre as décadas de 1930 e 1960, bem como sobre as estratégias estabelecidas pelo corpo técnico encetam transformações no percurso da construção política do desenvolvimento econômico regional. Aborda, por conseguinte, as próprias nervuras deste corpo técnico, intentando percebê-lo em suas contradições e, sobretudo, nas articulações institucionais que sustentam suas atuações e suas leituras sobre o desenvolvimento regional. Para tanto, baseia o trabalho em pesquisa bibliográfica atinente ao tema estudado e no aparato documental compilado e analisado referências apresentadas ao final deste volume.This work discusses the construction of a set of strategies focused on economic development of the state of Minas Gerais, especially after the start of the 20th century, and above all, the work of a techno-bureaucratic elite that was originally composed of engineers with degrees from Escola de Minas de Ouro Preto (Ouro Preto School of Mines), and later, of engineers mainly from the Engineering School at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, and finally, of economists with degrees from the Business Management and Accounting College of that same university. The work examines the possibility that an agenda dedicated to economic planning and to government intervention since the beginning of the 20th century may have arisen in Minas. In it, elements like agricultural modernization, diversification of production, technical and professional teaching, mineral exploration and the implementation of a major steelmaking industry forged a regional consciousness that saw, in the State, its primary formulator, organizer and financier, and notably in its technical corps, it most perfect executor. This study also examines how this regional awareness is built in the opposition established with developed counties or regions, guiding regional strategies by a constant and reaffirmed evaluation of the relative backwardness of the economy in Minas. It discusses the mechanisms for mobilization of this agenda, through the analysis of successive regional development plans between the 1930s and 1960s, and how the strategies established by the technical corps inaugurating transformations into the path of political construction of the regional economic development. Finally, it examines the very nerves of this technical corps, attempting to see their contradictions, and above, all, their institutional articulations that serve as the basis for their activity and their reading on regional development. To achieve this, the work is based on bibliographic research of the topic studied and on the documents compiled and analyzed, with references presented at the end of this volume.

Full textAbstract:
The Military Intelligence Division (MID) was the U.S. Army's intelligence agency that reported to the Chief of Staff within the War Department. During the years 1917- 1927, the MID routinely conducted surveillance of Mexico, including: espionage, mail censorship, radio intercepts, intelligence gathering, and development of plans for the invasion of Mexico. This study utilizes a tripartite model to evaluate the production and analysis of military "intelligence" by the MID in Mexico during the period 1917-1927. First, the organization and development of the Military Intelligence Division from its origins in 1885 through the year 1927 is explored with sections on institutional history and objects of investigation. Second, a quantitative analysis of intelligence documents identifies the focus and priorities of the MID in Mexico. Third, a textual analysis of intelligence documents makes use of a cross-cultural framework to demonstrate the prevailing attitudes, perspectives and world views of the MID toward the Mexican state and its peoples. The thesis question as to whether the U.S. Military Intelligence Division created an accurate and complete picture of "reality" of Mexico is answered in the negative. The MID perspective was colored by cultural bias, ignorance, and misunderstanding. Ultimately, the MID failed to grasp the reality of Mexico because it failed to ask the right questions. It seriously misunderstood the nature of Mexico and its peoples, especially in its relationship with the United States .. The particular model developed for this study lends itself to the possibility of further research in the area of international history and cross-cultural studies. The use of multiple analysis techniques provides a more comprehensive picture of the various factors involved that influence historical events.

Full textAbstract:
Twentieth Century Americans witnessed the construction of numerous massive dams that controlled the flow of rivers across the country. Many of these dams were built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to improve navigation and to provide inexpensive electricity and flood control. This paper will seek to shed light on Georgia’s current water crisis by analyzing the initial purposes behind the building of Buford Dam in North Georgia, investigating how water supply issues were addressed in the first half of the twentieth century, and exploring how expectations of the Chattahoochee River changed over time due in part to metropolitan Atlanta’s population growth. This paper will show that Atlanta area leaders secured appropriations for Buford Dam primarily to obtain a reliable water supply and additional electricity for their burgeoning community.

En 1945, le génie militaire français est devenu l’arme des communications. À leur arrivée en Indochine, malgré la pauvreté de leurs effectifs, les formations du génie œuvrent donc au rétablissement des itinéraires. Cependant, la nature même de la guerre d’Indochine et les caractéristiques propres au milieu physique des pays de la péninsule indochinoise obligent le génie à s’adapter, tout en assurant de plus en plus de responsabilités. À partir de 1951, la menace chinoise comme le renforcement du corps de bataille viêt-minh font apparaître de nouvelles missions qui se traduisent par l’équipement du théâtre d’opérations, rendu possible par l’arrivée de l’aide américaine. En dépit de la montée en puissance du génie d’Extrême-Orient, la perte progressive de la liberté d’action du corps expéditionnaire se solde par la défaite des Français. Enfin, entre 1954 et 1956, les sapeurs accueillent les réfugiés et les unités du corps expéditionnaire en provenance du Nord-Vietnam puis, procèdent à l’évacuation de l’IndochineIn 1945, French army engineers became the routes building branch. From the moment they arrive in Indochina, engineers reestablish itineraries, in spite of a limited number personnel. However the deep nature of the Indochina war and the particular of south-eastern Asian terrain force the engineers to adapt while they take more and more responsibilities. By 1951, the Chinese threat and the reinforcement of the Viet-Minh result in new missions which necessitate a development of infrastructures on the theatre, thanks to American support. Despite the increasing presence of the engineers, the French defeat is caused by a progressive restrain of the movement for the expeditionary corps. Eventually between 1954 and 1956, the engineers gather the refugees and the expeditionary corps units from North-Vietnam and manage the evacuation from Indochina

Full textAbstract:
A study of Asian clam (Corbicula fluminea Müller) colonization in relation to changes in aquatic vegetation community as a result of management of Hydrilla verticillata (L. f.) Royle with grass carp was conducted at the Lewisville Aquatic Ecosystem Research Facility (LAERF), Lewisville, TX, from April 2015 through October 2016. Percent vegetation cover, C. fluminea abundance and water quality metrics (pH, turbidity, conductivity, DO, calcium, chlorophyll a) from 16 experimental subjects were analyzed. Treatments included four replicated grass carp stocking densities; 1-control with no fish stocked (n = 4), 2-low density of 40-43 fish per vegetated ha (n = 4), 3-medium density of 72-81 fish per vegetated ha (n = 4) and 4-high density of 110-129 fish per vegetated ha (n = 4). Data analysis showed statistical significance in the relation of C. fluminea abundance to percent vegetation cover (multiple linear regression, r2 = 0.820), grass carp stocking densities (two-way analysis of variance, p = <0.001) and chlorophyll a (multiple linear regression, r2 = 0.339). Findings of this research indicate the possibility that management of hydrilla had enabled establishment of secondary invasive species.

The Army Corps of Engineers are the main combat support units. Soldiers own the ability to construct bridges, overcome obstacles and assist when disaster strikes. Engineering equipment has important functions such as reaching into disaster areas and assisting in search and rescue. Keeping the engineering equipment properly to protect the country and the safety of people are important issues at present. The excavators and loaders have been becoming an important force for the relief of Army Corps due to their high maneuverability, excavation and carrying capacity. Along with the streamlining of the national army organizations and the shrinking of the national defense budget, the national army carries increasingly frequent missions of disaster relief, while maintaining operational effectiveness, maintenance efficiency and reducing maintenance costs at same time. Therefore, how to use both outsourcing and self-maintenance to maintain the effective operation of engineering equipment has become an issue that is worthy getting to the meat of this problem. In this study, we use the Army Corps of Engineers as the research object, using system dynamics to explore the key variables which affecting the availability of engineering equipment, constructing a system dynamic model, and using this model to maintain policy analysis and simulation. By adjusting the outsourcing ratio, outsourcing maintenance time, the proportion of maintenance hours and other variables, observe the impact on the availability maintenance costs and maintenance benefit. For further discussion, the propose of improvements, and provide reference for policy makers to formulate policies.

Taiwan is located on the subtropical zone, surrounding the earthquake zones of the Pacific Ocean. Every year there are natural disasters such as typhoons, thunderstorms, drought, cold current earthquakes and other natural disaters hit striking Taiwan. Meanwhile, It’s prone to cause landslide and mudslide, which often cause traffic disruption and threaten people’s lives and property safety. In addition to climate and environment, Taiwan is facing the diverse, complex and high-risk disasters in recent years.Due to global environmental damage caused by extreme climate disasters derived,more destructive and comprehensive . Therefore, Ministry of National Defense is going to have the disaster prevention listed as one of the missions in particular. The essay is planned to implement three aspects of discussion, pointing to professional rescue forces expansion and increasing daily disaster prevention training hours ,enter into supporting agreements of associating training or plans with folk disaster-defending organizations and according to the missions, purchase proper equipment for rescuing disasters and compose the disaster-defending budget. It adopts document analysis. From reviewing the literature, exploring the types of disasters to be the role and orientation in supporting the military forces to prevent the disasters. Over the years, the effect for the Army corps of Engineers to prevent and relieve the disasters as a verification of the military forces in overall preparedness disaster prevention and relief. Then, in the past five years, the serious catastrophes our country had encountered were used to be the sample of the data collection in the study. From the content of the study, we can discuss whether the military forces do a good job in the disaster prevention and training for rescuing. The study offers some suggestions for modifying and mastering the courses. Therefore, via the research, we can find that the problem of adjusting staffs in the organization and training, planning training hours, composing the disaster-rescuing budget. Indeed, those problems will affect the entire disaster relief performance to be good orbad.
