Savannah Corps' Top Brass Engineer Leads from the Front
Monday, October 5th, 2015
As if deploying to Afghanistan does not pose enough of a challenge, making a dramatic mission change in the middle only adds to personal and professional demands. However, Gordon Simmons, Savannah District’s chief of engineering, would not let that slow him from pushing forward to help the people of that war-torn nation.
Tapped by division leaders for a deployment to Afghanistan, Simmons oversaw more than 200 projects of strategic and economic importance as the Chief of Engineering and Construction for USACE’s Transatlantic Division from Sept. 1, 2014, to Aug. 29, 2015.
