An engineer Soldier with a Wisconsin National Guard engineer unit operates a bulldozer moving dirt June 9, 2022, as part of an ongoing troop project at Fort McCoy, Wis. The project work is located in an area of land near the old Gate 20 and Improved Tactical Training Base Liberty and the cantonment area fence, said Larry Morrow, troop projects coordinator with the Fort McCoy Directorate of Public Works (DPW). The site plan is to make it into a base operations support site for installation service con-tractors, such as facility maintenance, roads and grounds, solid waste, custodial, pest management, and more. DPW Operations and Maintenance Division Chief Nate Sobojinski said DPW is combining all of its service contractors in one location near commercial gate access to keep suppliers from having to drive around post bringing supplies to various locations. Work will continue to be ongoing in the entire area, officials said.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - At NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida, screening equipment is operating to separate pulverized Alabama river rock from stones still usable in the crawlerway leading from the Vehicle Assembly Building VAB to the launch pads. The rock no longer suitable for the crawlerway will be reused in other areas of the spaceport. After years of wear from the weight of space shuttles being transported to the launch pads, the crawlerway was in need of resurfacing in preparation for future programs. The Ground Systems Development and Operations GSDO Program office at Kennedy is working to upgrade the two 40-foot-wide pathways the crawler-transporter will travel as it transports vehicles such as NASA's Space Launch System SLS rocket from the VAB to the launch pad.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contractors utilize a metal baler to compact metal debris, making it easier to handle and transport, West Maui, Feb. 24, 2024. Once the debris has been baled, it is shrink wrapped to contain debris and inhibit smaller pieces from shaking loose during transit. The bales are then loaded onto a flatbed trailer, strapped down and hauled away. USACE is overseeing the debris removal mission under a Federal Emergency Management Agency mission assignment, which is part of a coordinated effort with the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency, the County of Maui and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to clean up areas of the island affected by the Aug. 8, 2023, wildfires.(USACE
