00:00.290 --> 00:11.940
What. The U.S. army corps of engineer
civil works program.

00:12.360 --> 00:16.420
It's the way projects go from an idea
to a reality that the recent

00:16.420 --> 00:20.470
years the program has often been
described as too costly and

00:20.470 --> 00:21.020
too slow.

00:21.670 --> 00:25.090
Corps leadership is taking notice and
started a transformation program.

00:25.300 --> 00:28.350
It is already beginning to change
the way the quarters business

00:28.650 --> 00:31.760
for work transformation with really
about how to we're down the

00:31.760 --> 00:33.640
change when on all around.

00:34.300 --> 00:38.280
As everybody knows our fiscal
climate to very constrained.

00:38.890 --> 00:43.370
Expectations are elevated. We don't
have enough federal resources

00:43.510 --> 00:47.170
and the all of those expectations
to meet these current and future

00:47.170 --> 00:50.770
challenges the core is targeted
for key areas for improvement

00:50.810 --> 00:54.660
in of civil works program the planning
process budget development

00:55.030 --> 00:59.030
infrastructure strategy and methods
of delivery one of the strategies

00:59.030 --> 01:02.010
for modernizing the planning process
has been nicknamed three

01:02.010 --> 01:05.640
by three by three which means studies
will be completed in less

01:05.640 --> 01:09.070
than three years costs no more
than three million dollars and

01:09.070 --> 01:11.790
obtained early involvement of the
three levels of the quarter

01:12.110 --> 01:15.480
district division and headquarters
additionally the goal is to

01:15.480 --> 01:19.590
prepare reports to be no more than
three inches that our sponsors

01:19.590 --> 01:22.090
schedule pens to being in
their greatest concern.

01:22.660 --> 01:26.540
They're very excited about the idea
of getting actionable decisions

01:27.000 --> 01:30.260
and not more than a clear period of
time the Sacramento district's

01:30.260 --> 01:33.360
these ability study focusing on flood
risk reduction in California's

01:33.390 --> 01:36.630
sadder and the county's was selected
as a pilot for planning

01:36.630 --> 01:39.830
modernisation and that project
has already benefited from.

01:39.830 --> 01:43.270
The course of the works transformation.
I modernisation has taken

01:43.270 --> 01:47.700
a steady that has struggled we're
finding and time and really

01:47.700 --> 01:51.360
accelerated it five bring the participation
the visibility and

01:51.360 --> 01:55.040
the funding to that steady silicon
completed in transforming

01:55.040 --> 01:58.950
the budget development process projects
will be evaluated prioritize

01:58.980 --> 02:02.630
and funded based on their system-wide
benefits instead of a stable

02:02.630 --> 02:06.850
one projects for force transformation
is all that smart investment.

02:07.350 --> 02:10.230
It's put in the money. We're commander
some most that's gonna

02:10.230 --> 02:13.970
go where the worst threat is for
the most return can be in terms

02:13.970 --> 02:15.430
of a limited resources are.

02:16.200 --> 02:19.360
Infrastructure strategy the next
area targeted for improvement

02:19.690 --> 02:23.260
involves ensuring our infrastructure
is sustainable and reliable

02:23.700 --> 02:26.570
we will evaluate are assets to
ensure that we make the right

02:26.600 --> 02:31.140
investment for some cases of maybe
getting rid of sober of products

02:31.140 --> 02:35.400
to no longer of both of mission
we did that here years ago we

02:35.400 --> 02:37.980
go over the start from alok that
we've no longer function of

02:37.980 --> 02:38.940
the navigation bar.

02:39.460 --> 02:42.570
Is really not only by to the missions
torn apart over and over.

02:43.080 --> 02:46.220
The final target area for civil
works is improving methods of

02:46.220 --> 02:49.980
delivery which means many engineering
services such as dam safety

02:49.980 --> 02:54.330
production centers in the navigation design
on deep draft navigation economics.

02:54.590 --> 02:58.260
We managed at a regional court enterprise
level. Instead of the district's.

02:58.790 --> 03:02.120
This will insure more consistency throughout
the corps and consolidation

03:02.120 --> 03:05.760
of technical expertise and competence
partially furry for every

03:05.760 --> 03:09.430
division we're building one dams
the bucket center that maintains

03:09.430 --> 03:12.210
that expertise and and service
member fall region.

03:13.030 --> 03:15.960
In today's challenging environment
for transformation sets at

03:15.960 --> 03:19.380
clear direction for civil works program
to best serve the public

03:19.700 --> 03:22.820
the the nation's water resource
needs and help the poor remain

03:22.820 --> 03:24.490
relevant in the twenty first century.

03:25.030 --> 03:29.290
Can continue doing what we've got
to have been expected to rise

03:29.670 --> 03:33.410
the government that smaller we
need to really Fincher weight

03:33.440 --> 03:34.590
of value to the nation..
