The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District, hosted a dedication ceremony for three new hydrographic survey vessels named in honor of three local fallen U.S. Army Soldiers: Sgt. 1st Class John C. Beale, Sgt. Tyrone Lanard Chisholm, and Staff Sgt. Dustin Wright.
The vessels will serve a crucial role throughout the Savannah District’s area of responsibility, which includes major waterways like the Savannah Harbor, the third busiest container port in the U.S.; the Brunswick Harbor, the nation’s largest roll-on/roll-off port; and the 161-mile stretch of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway along Georgia’s coast.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District, in partnership with the Georgia Emergency Management and the contractor, AshBritt, Inc., met in Valdosta, Georgia, Monday, April 7, 2025, to sign final documentation signifying the completion of eligible debris removal in Lowndes County, the last of 10 counties supported within Georgia.
