Maj. Gen. David C. Hill, deputy chief of engineers

Maj. Gen. David C. Hill, deputy chief of engineers and deputy commanding general of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), toured the Engineer Research and Development Center’s Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) in Hanover, New Hampshire, Feb. 27-28, 2021. CRREL Oil and Environmental Group’s Nate Lamie shows the laboratory’s unique pool, which is used to grow ice for experimenting different methods of oil cleanup. CRREL civil engineers Billy Birch and Tyler Elliot measure the thickness of the ice sheet.
The purpose of Hill’s visit was to gain a better understanding of CRREL’s function and capacity to support the USACE mission of delivering vital public and military engineering services, partnering in peace and war to strengthen our nation’s security, energizing the economy and reducing risks from disasters.
