The Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has helped expand and modernize hospitals and clinics operated by the VA and Army, according to an article on the Army website.
"The Corps has significant construction management capabilities and experience delivering medical facilities for our Service members and veterans," Lloyd Caldwell, director of military programs for USACE, said.
