Getting in a TIF with USACE
Introduction
In 2015 the USACE TECH Talk Program was established to provide a platform to highlight USACE personnel and projects that push the limits on industry standards, improve infrastructure, and create efficiencies. After four years and more than 50 TECH Talks, the programme is transitioning to the USACE Technical Innovation Forum (TIF). TIF is an annual event that brings together people and projects from across the Corps to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information.
Last week I attended the 2019 USACE TIF, hosted online by HQ USACE, conducted under the theme “Innovation that Executes”. The two day training event consisted of a keynote speaker (1 hour) followed by breakout sessions (2 hours) each day. A complete schedule is attached, showing the breadth and diversity of subjects.
Highlights
A number of the subjects were very specialised and went over my head somewhat (especially the geology and seismic subjects). I did, however, want to share with you two presentations in particular that could have profound effects on the development of military construction.
