    USACE chief visits FEST-M in Afghanistan by Mark Abueg KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan (Aug. 18, 2010) – The Army's top engineer made a trip here yesterday and addressed a team of deployed engineers. Lt. Gen. Robert L. Van Antwerp, U.S. Army chief of engineers and commanding general of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, discussed what engineers are accomplishing all over the world, and thanked the 579th Engineer Detachment (Forward Engineer Support Team - Main) for all they do in Afghanistan. “It’s great being over here,” he said. “Everywhere we go over here I can’t tell you how much people say, ‘I’m so proud of what the engineers do.’ In fact, everything they keep telling us is, ‘When are you going to get about twice as many as you got here?’” He described how great it is to be an engineer right now by lamenting on the many projects USACE is currently involved with in the U.S. and overseas. Naming a few, the Corps of Engineers currently handles about $45 billion worth of projects on about 100 Army posts and 60 Air Force bases, according to Van Antwerp. “It’s just a recognition of how important the engineers are,” he said. “I think you’d be proud of engineers all over the world and everything that’s going on.” Van Antwerp was especially proud of all the engineers currently deployed in support of overseas contingency operations. “So I want to tell you all thanks,” he said. “You’re just really knocking it out of the park. I couldn’t be more proud of you. So keep up the great work. Thanks for what you do.”
