The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, is actively maintaining the Mississippi River navigation channel ahead of the fall harvest to provide a safe, reliable navigation channel for the navigation industry to move the grains grown in the Upper Midwest to markets across the nation and globe.

America’s extensive maritime system supports an estimated $4.6 trillion of economic activity annually and it accounts for the direct employment of more than 23 million Americans. In addition to serving as a supply chain provider through its navigation mission, USACE also relies upon navigation as a critical element in its own supply of construction materials and other goods. The USACE Climate Adaptation Plan identifies priority actions to protect this critical supply line as the climate continues to change.

Transportation by barge is much more fuel-efficient than competing modes of transport, making it better for the environment, human health, and the climate. A recent study found that barge transportation emits only 70% of the carbon dioxide on a per-ton-mile basis compared to shipping by rail, and only 11% of the carbon dioxide emitted by shipping the same cargo by truck.

About Moody Bridge Chat

Bridge Chat's purpose is to create cohesive, high-performing teams that foster trust and connection through flexible and consistent small group discussions; in direct response to overwhelming feedback from the CSAF 21's Resilience Tactical Pause.

Caring for our Wingmen is what defines us as Airmen, so we must work to get to know our teammates and the challenges they face. We all have the same responsibility of creating the workplace we want and supporting the people we share our lives with.

Bridge Chat topics are posted here monthly to encourage small group discussions within teams. Beginning the process of recurring discussions can be difficult, but will become easier with time and reinforce the Flying Tiger culture.

To help us initiate and facilitate these discussions, we have included a guide that defines roles and ground rules.

The Flying Tiger Bridge Chat Facilitator provides facilitator trainings for base personnel. Their goal is to create squadron facilitators who take action on ACC's goal of equipping, engaging and empowering Airmen with resilience tools and create high-performing teams who look out for each other. To schedule training, contact 229-257-3211.
