The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has a long and distinguished history which can be traced back to 1775 when the Continental Congress organized an army with a chief engineer and two assistants. Today the Corps has over 37,000 dedicated civilians and soldiers delivering services in more than 130 countries worldwide. The website provides a veritable cornucopia of these activities, divided into thematic sections that include Missions, Locations, Careers, and Library. On the homepage, visitors can make their way through the Most Requested area, which includes items like Hurricane Sandy, Civil Works Plan, and numerous others. In the Missions area, visitors can learn about everything from domestic civil works programs to operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Persons looking for Corps projects in certain regions can use the interactive Locations map to do so. The site is rounded out by the Media area, which features fact sheets, videos, and other items.
