Good point Seminole Red, No.1 The USACE is a Federal Agency of the US Government, as it's own separate but permanent branch, under the DOD umbrella. It contracts out, and works with all kinds of civilian contractors for civil works projects. Much like the Military Sealift Command, {it is mostly a civilian run organization, serving the US Military} but with one small caveat, it is fully funded by the US Government, although some of their projects may be funded in conjunction with other Federal, State and local agencies.
I don't think most people actually know just what the USACE does,this is from 2013, allocated in Millions of dollars.

The USACE works with the Military all the time.

The President is the "Commander In Chief", and the top of the chain of command in the US Military.
He sets policy agenda and strategic objectives.

This is the real estate FUDS - {Formally used defense} sites under the purview of the DOD. Look @ all the red dots all along the border. Now do you think that it's a stretch of anyone's imagination that these properties could all be connected somehow in providing security for our nation?
Connect the dots, you cannot refute that our open borders have greatly contributed to all kinds of illegal activities across it, for many years now. Sure you can fly it, you can ship it, you can drive it, but our open borders are a glaring national security opportunity for anyone wanting to smuggle themselves, or anything else into this country unhindered. If that isn't a national security concern, I don't know what is.
