  • Final Report
    FINAL REPORT ANNUAL IDSTORICAL REPORT SUMMARY SOUTHWESTERN DIVISION U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS SWD PILOT REGIONAL IDSTORY PROJECT CALENDAR YEAR 2004 Gregory Graves, Ph.D. Peter Neushul, Ph.D. Graves & Neushul Historical Consultants 915 Camino Lindo Goleta, CA 93117 1O March 2008 2 Preface This is the first annual historical report summary for the Southwestern Division (SWD) of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The SWD pilot regional history project is part of the reorganization of the Corps of Engineers known as USACE 2012. The new methodology, or "regionalization" of the annual historical reporting of the districts of the Southwestern Division has presented opportunities for new examination of their activities in a given year. The geographic boundaries of the Fort Worth, Galveston, Little Rock and Tulsa districts are combined to give a regional view of the work and activities of the U.S. Army Corps Engineers in northern Arkansas, Oklahoma, southern Kansas, southern Missouri, portions of Louisiana and New Mexico, and Texas. Each of the four districts and the division submitted a report on its major activities for the calendar year 2004. Our task as historians has been to examine the submissions, and compile and refer to them in an overview, placing them in historical context using primary and secondary materials. The Evolution of Regionalization Regionalization is part of the continuing effort to streamline the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dating back to the 1960s and 1970s. In civil works, the Corps of Engineers had an amazing list of accomplishments by mid-century. Water resources developments included flood control projects nationwide, thousands of miles of inland waterways, deepwater ports, and reservoirs that supplied much of the nation's drinking water and hydroelectric power.
