USACE Projects Impact Iraq's Environment

摘要

The Army's focus on environmental sustainability is evident in projects in the Iraq theater of operations where the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Gulf Region District (GRD) manages construction.1 Solar-powered street lights installed in Fallujah, for example, use the sun's renewable energy, balancing the needs of the environment and communities by providing power, conserving natural resources for other uses, and improving air quality through reduced air emissions.
