Since then the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has responded to changing defense requirements and played an integral part in the development of the country. /3

The Army established the Corps of Engineers as a separate, permanent branch on March 16, 1802, and gave the engineers responsibility for founding and operating the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. /2

Did you know: George Washington appointed the first engineer officers of the Army on June 16, 1775, during the American Revolution, and engineers have served in combat in all subsequent American wars. (THREAD)
