摘要

Initiated in 2012, the Forward Response Technical Dive Team includes approximately 20 engineers, biologists, geologists, program and project managers, and technicians from throughout the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Members are stationed at districts throughout the United States (in Concord, Massachusetts; Buffalo, New York; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Portland, Oregon; and Saint Paul, Minnesota); the Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) in Vicksburg, Mississippi; and the North Atlantic Division, Fort Hamilton, Brooklyn, New York. Since inception, this elite team has safely assisted with and executed more than 100 missions worldwide. The team performs certified structural inspections on bridges, piers, wharfs, docks, and seawalls for ERDC and the Army Installation Management Command. In 2017, the team performed dive operations at USACE dams, locks, and channels throughout the United States, including Alaska, Connecticut, New York, Oregon, and Pennsylvania; Pier 8, Busan, South Korea; and Camp Darby Livorno, Italy, and provided on-site dive planning and safety oversight at Mosul Dam in Iraq.
