Last week, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers joined global experts, government officials, and industry leaders at the Smart Rivers 2025 Conference in Memphis to share innovations and strengthen collaboration on inland waterways. MG Kelly, MG Peeples, and Mr. Jose Sanchez represented USACE, engaging with international partners including the Mekong River Commission to explore future cooperation. These partnerships directly support U.S. Army Pacific and U.S. Indo-Pacific Command priorities by advancing resilience, sustainability, and regional security across the Indo-Pacific. By working together, we ensure waterways remain safe, reliable, and vital for communities at home and with our allies abroad.
