    Military personnel in camouflage uniforms and high-visibility safety vests are engaged in what appears to be disaster relief or recovery operations. A soldier wearing a white hard hat and reflective vest with a Corps of Engineers-style insignia is shaking hands with a civilian in a red shirt. The surrounding environment shows storm-damaged trees and structures, suggesting post-hurricane or typhoon recovery work.

    After the second Super Typhoon Bavi made landfall on Rota, the southernmost island in the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands (CNMI), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) were able to respond quickly because additional personnel and resources were pre-positioned ahead of Super Typhoon Bavi’s landfall along with the resources that were already on the ground due to the recovery for the earlier Super Typhoon Sinlaku. In coordination with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, temporary generators are being installed at critical facilities on Rota by USACE’s Temporary Power Team. On July 26, 2026, Cpt. Alexander Webre, USACE’s Grid Power Team and the 249th Engineer Battalion conducted a site visit of Rota’s power plant. Chief Warrant Officer 2 Cory Newling (left) and Cpt. Alexander P. Webre, Grid Power mission commander, inspect various areas around the power plant. (U.S. Army photo by Monique Freemon)
