00:00.021 --> 00:02.487
(grand orchestral music)

00:02.487 --> 00:04.900
- [Narrator] The mission of
the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers

00:04.900 --> 00:07.281
Middle East District is to
provide high quality design,

00:07.281 --> 00:09.135
construction and related support services

00:09.135 --> 00:12.217
to the U.S. military and
allied nation partners

00:12.217 --> 00:13.981
throughout the Middle East.

00:13.981 --> 00:16.620
- Yeah, I'm Fernando
Miranda from Puerto Rico

00:16.620 --> 00:20.450
and I'm the resident
engineer here in Kuwait.

00:20.450 --> 00:22.440
Middle East is a great challenge,

00:22.440 --> 00:24.103
but it's also very rewarding.

00:24.103 --> 00:25.903
We got a lot of different projects.

00:25.903 --> 00:28.110
You know, we have projects here

00:28.110 --> 00:30.733
for the Navy, we got
projects for the Air Force,

00:30.733 --> 00:33.271
we got projects for the Army.

00:33.271 --> 00:34.782
- I'm Kurt Ross.

00:34.782 --> 00:36.822
I'm a quality assurance representative

00:36.822 --> 00:39.032
for the P990 medical dental facility

00:39.032 --> 00:41.695
here on NSA1 Bahrain.

00:41.695 --> 00:43.092
Our current medical facility

00:43.092 --> 00:44.861
was built 20 years ago

00:44.861 --> 00:48.050
and over time and increase of personnel

00:48.050 --> 00:49.760
here on the base,

00:49.760 --> 00:51.692
they've have to add to
that medical clinic.

00:51.692 --> 00:52.915
- [Narrator] Through these efforts,

00:52.915 --> 00:55.291
the district plays a
small but important role

00:55.291 --> 00:57.379
in promoting overall regional security

00:57.379 --> 00:59.573
and U.S. interests in the region.

00:59.573 --> 01:01.548
The infrastructure and more importantly

01:01.548 --> 01:03.270
the relationships we built have

01:03.270 --> 01:05.665
for almost 70 years been a stable presence

01:05.665 --> 01:07.882
in a region known for instability.

01:07.882 --> 01:09.690
Our mission partners choose us

01:09.690 --> 01:11.839
because they not only get
the Middle East District's

01:11.839 --> 01:13.786
expert team of credentialed professionals,

01:13.786 --> 01:15.863
but the expertise and reputation

01:15.863 --> 01:18.029
of the entire U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers.

01:18.029 --> 01:19.883
Our mission partners choose us

01:19.883 --> 01:22.255
because they know we will
execute quality programs

01:22.255 --> 01:23.529
on time and on budget,

01:23.529 --> 01:25.561
because are not out to make a profit,

01:25.561 --> 01:28.180
so we're committed to
doing what's best for them.

01:28.180 --> 01:31.927
- He established a relationship
with the contractor

01:31.927 --> 01:34.011
as in safety is number one.

01:34.011 --> 01:35.552
I think they appreciated the fact

01:35.552 --> 01:39.327
that they understood that we
cared about the people here.

01:39.327 --> 01:40.910
- [Narrator] And finally,
our mission partners

01:40.910 --> 01:43.568
choose us because from large
scale construction projects

01:43.568 --> 01:46.002
valued in the hundreds of millions

01:46.002 --> 01:47.730
and critical to national security,

01:47.730 --> 01:50.385
to everyday small scale procurements,

01:50.385 --> 01:53.102
they count on us to get the mission done.

01:53.102 --> 01:54.370
We understand that we're not

01:54.370 --> 01:56.608
building facilities, but capabilities.

01:56.608 --> 01:59.720
And we continue to be the go organization

01:59.720 --> 02:02.125
for engineering, construction
and support services

02:02.125 --> 02:03.674
in some of the most
challenging construction

02:03.674 --> 02:05.913
environments in the world.
