This webinar highlighted the capabilities of the U.S. Army Engineer Research and
Development Center (ERDC) and the role of the recently stood up group of “ERDC
Liaisons.” As one of the most diverse engineering and scientific research organizations in
the world, ERDC conducts research and development in support of military installations
and the USACE Civil Works mission, as well as for other federal agencies, state and
municipal authorities, and with U.S. industries through innovative work agreements.
Presenter Michael Winkler (ERDC Strategic Integration Officer) provided an overview of
ERDC capabilities related to Planning and described the role of the new ERDC Liaisons,
who have been assigned to all MSCs and Districts as part of the Chief of Engineer’s intent
to elevate the Corps’ research and development programs, and to promote ERDC
involvement earlier in the project development process.
