Europe District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

The US Army Corps of Engineers is providing engineering expertise – both on the ground and using resources and experts from labs across the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) back stateside in a reachback capacity - to assist ongoing efforts to safely recover the missing M88 Hercules armored vehicle in Lithuania. Our team will do what it can to support all the partners working together in this effort. “It is highly complex trying to get to the vehicle itself with the terrain out here and where the M88 is sitting in a bog swamp-like area, below the waterline. So not only are we dealing with the terrain, a lot of mud that is over top of the vehicle, but also the fact that it's 70 tons that we're trying to recover out of a swamp or bog,” said Brig. Gen. John Lloyd, commander of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, North Atlantic Division in the latest mission update from U.S. Army Europe and Africa.

US Army Corps of Engineers, Europe District personnel coordinated a design charrette for airfield improvements at MK Air Base in Romania with U.S. Army Garrison Black Sea, contractor and Host Nation project partners March 4-6, 2025. These airfield improvements will increase the operational capabilities of U.S., Romanian and NATO aircraft to support missions operating out of the base – increasing warfighter #readiness, #deterrence and #lethality. #BuildingStrong #StrongerTogether

“The synchronization of all of our partners is critical for us, and a workshop like this is a huge step in facilitating those partnerships,” Europe District Program and Project Management Division Chief Chris Tolson said. That's why the US Army Corps of Engineers hosted a stakeholder engagement event in February where about 100 professionals representing various Department of Defense partner organizations participated.
