It appears your organizational mission is no longer an "engineer mission," and yet the AGC is a Major Subordinate Command under USACE. How do you see the organizational relationship of USACE, AGC and your customers?rnI certainly don't agree with the supposition of the question that ours is no longer an engineer mission. Clearly, U.S. Army engineers have taken on some of the hardest challenges our nation has faced throughout its history. Our geo-spatial engineers possess unique skills, understandings and tools to address one of the Army's most vexing problems today: the transfer of warfighting situational knowledge from one soldier to another and one unit to another. Our geospatial engineers understand the basic principles of aligning all spatial and temporal data onto a precise, geometrically-based foundation. The concept of a geographic information system is innate in all that engineers do-from recon to planning to execution and sustainment.
