    Formation of the U.S. Corps of Engineers Father of the Corps of Engineers At age 16 he was engaged by Lord Fairfax as a surveyor’s helper to survey 1.5 million acres of the Northern Neck of Virginia, which extended into the Shenandoah Valley At 17 he began surveying lots in Alexandria for pay, and became surveyor of Culpepper County later that summer. At age 21 he was given a major’s commission and made Adjutant of Southern Virginia. Six months later he led the first of three English expeditions into the Ohio Valley to initially parlay, then fight the French. Few individuals had a better appreciation of the Allegheny Mountains and the general character of all the lands comprising the American Colonies First Engineer Action Battle of Bunker Hill in Boston in 1775 Washington’s First Chief Engineer In 1775 Putnam entered the Continental Army as a lieutenant colonel. He was involved in the organization of the batteries and fortifications in Boston and New York City in 1776 and 1777, serving as Washington’s first chief Engineer. He went on to greater successes commanding a regiment under General Horatio Gates at the Battle of Saratoga in September 1777. He built new fortifications at West Point in 1778 and in 1779 he served under General Anthony Wayne. He was promoted to brigadier general four years later. Rufus Putnam 1738-1824 Chief Engineer 1777 - 1783 Washington pleaded for more engineers, which began arriving from France in 1776.

United States General Accounting Office GAO Washington, D.C. 20548 National Security and International Affairs Division B-229358 September 20,1988 The Honorable John Dingell Chairman, Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations Committee on Energy and Commerce House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: The Army, having decided that its fleet of construction vehicles was becoming too costly to keep in repair, directed European units in 1985 to dispose of commercially available combat engineer construction vehi- cles. The Army purchased 850 replacement vehicles for Europe costing about $79 million. The purchase was part of a worldwide replacement program totaling about $470 million through fiscal year 1987. As you requested, we reviewed the Army’s replacement of construction vehicles in Europe. Our objective was to determine the basis for replac- ing these vehicles. We agree with the Army’s goal to replace worn-out vehicles with stan- dardized ones, but question its decision to dispose of usable vehicles without showing that it was cost-effective to do so. Army officials stated that old construction vehicles were difficult to support and that high repair costs made replacing the entire fleet -regardless of condi- tion-cost-effective. We found no analyses to support the Army’s position.

  • Operator Dies After Being Caught Between Bulldozer's Track and Fender
    Operator Dies after Being Caught between Bulldozer’s Track and Fender Investigation: # 10WA015 Release Date: September 14, 2012 SHARP Report: # 52-26-2012 TABLE OF CONTENTS CONTENTS PAGE SUMMARY 3 RECOMMENDATIONS 3 INTRODUCTION 4 Employer 4 Employer Safety Program and Training 4 Victim 5 Equipment 5 INVESTIGATION 7 CAUSE OF DEATH 10 CONTRIBUTING FACTORS 11 RECOMMENDATIONS AND DISCUSSION 11 REFERENCES 15 INVESTIGATOR INFORMATION 16 FACE PROGRAM INFORMATION 16 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 17 2 SUMMARY In February of 2010, a 68-year-old male construction crew supervisor and heavy equipment operator died of injuries he received after being crushed between the track and fender of his bulldozer. The operator was employed by a contractor that does site development, single family home construction, and commercial construction work. He had previously owned a construction contracting business and had 48 years of experience operating bulldozers and other heavy construction equipment. On the day of the fatal incident, the operator was supervising a crew. The crew was working at a job site zoned for commercial development, where structural fill was being brought in and dumped and then leveled and compacted. As dump trucks hauled fill onto the site, the operator was using a Caterpillar D4H Series II bulldozer to level the fill and was also directing the drivers as to where they should deposit their loads. At 7:40 AM, the operator exited the bulldozer on its right side to speak with a truck driver about where the driver should deposit his load of fill. When he did this, he left the bulldozer running and did not set the parking brake.

  • United Nations Peacekeeping Missions Military Engineers Manual
    United Nations Peacekeeping Missions Military Engineer Unit Manual September 2015 0 Preface We are delighted to introduce the United Nations Peacekeeping Missions Military Unit Manual on Engineers—an essential guide for commanders and staff deployed in peacekeeping operations, and an important reference for Member States and the staff at United Nations Headquarters. For several decades, United Nations peacekeeping has evolved significantly in its complexity. The spectrum of multi-dimensional UN peacekeeping includes challenging tasks such as helping to restore state authority, protecting civilians and disarming, demobilizing and reintegrating ex-combatants. In today’s context, peacekeeping Missions are deploying into environments where they can expect to confront asymmetric threats from armed groups over large swaths of territory. Consequently, the capabilities required for successful peacekeeping Missions demand ever-greater improvement. UN peacekeeping operations are rarely limited to one type of activity. While deployed in the context of a political framework supporting a peace agreement, or in the context of creating the conditions for a return to stability, peacekeeping Missions may require military units to perform challenging tasks involving the judicious use of force, particularly in situations where the host state is unable to provide security and maintain public order. To meet these complex peacekeeping challenges, military components often play a pivotal role in providing and maintaining a secure environment. Under these circumstances, the deployment of UN Military Engineers can contribute decisively towards successful achievement of the Mission’s goals by providing the physical wherewithal to exist, sustain and fulfill its mandate. As the UN continues its efforts to broaden the base of Troop Contributing Countries, and in order to ensure the effective interoperability of all UN Military Engineer Units, there is a need to formalize capability standards.
