2 2020 was a year of challenges not only for the U.S Army Corps of Engineers, but for the world. The greatest challenge being COVID-19 pandemic. With the pandemic came travel bans, mandatory telework, recreation closures and virtual learning for children.
“COVID-19 changed our landscape. As professionals, we adapted and overcame these challenges and, as an organization, we led the Nation’s response,” said Brig. Gen. Christopher Beck, commander, Southwestern Division. “Through it all, we continued to deliver a program that will impact the region’s military for generations to come.”
In Fiscal year 2020, the Division’s Military Construction Program saw six project awards valued at $189 million with Installation Readiness projects at $739 million. The U.S. Army Centrally Funded Barracks program invested more than $500 million to renovate and repair barracks at Fort Hood, Fort Polk, Fort Sill, and Joint Base San Antonio.

MINNEAPOLIS Anthony Edwards scored 30 points in his final audition for the NBA Rookie of the Year award, leading the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 136-121 victory over the postseason-bound Dallas Mavericks on Sunday night.
Luka Doncic had 18 points, six rebounds and six assists in 21 minutes for the Mavericks, who were unharmed by the meaningless defeat. They get the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference playoffs, pitted against the No. 4 seed Los Angeles Clippers beginning next weekend in the first round. It’s a rematch of an intense series last year in the Florida bubble.
“It was a lot of trash talking, a lot of hard plays, but it was fun,” said Doncic, who traded plenty of barbs with Clippers forward Marcus Morris. “That’s what basketball is about.”
