The 412th Engineer Command provides theater-level engineer support to the Combatant Commander in the event of a contingency operation. It is designed to command hundreds of engineer units and thousands of Soldiers in a war fighting capacity. The Command has historical training relationships in the Pacific and European theaters, and provides direct support to the Eighth US Army in Korea. The Command also is the Army Reserve’s Executive Agent for Operation Sand Castle at Fort Irwin, CA, which is a 10-year urban terrain construction mission for engineer units conducting their Annual Training. Prior to mobilization, the 412th ENCOM is under operational control of the Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
As an operational command, the 412th has 3 brigades and 96 other assigned units with approximately 10,000 Soldiers located throughout the southeast and northeast U.S. These units include the 926th Engineer Brigade, 411th Engineer Brigade, 302d Maneuver Enhancement Brigade, and the 314th Press Camp Headquarters.
Soooo....
Looks like Trump can activate these reservists (not National Guard) and use them to build the wall. Note in the description how they’ve gained experience in “urban terrain construction.”
Sounds like a border wall to me.
Go Trump - MAGA
Go Melania aka Lady MAGA
Q is real

Lots of pix there. I was unable to figure out a way to obtain the image address, though, so could not post any of them.
Reading through it, I saw this:
“...One of the more challenging projects was upgrading a well stem drilled the previous year: a 16- by 70-foot discharge pad with 10-foot approach ramps was constructed, plumbing was installed, a 12,000-gallon storage tank and PERIMETER FENCE WAS ERECTED, AND an electrical box with service provided by a 10-kilowatt generator was installed...”
Yep. They know about building fences - and roads - and buildings.... amazing arm of our troops!
[There was another “Operation Sand Castles” mentioned - one was UK in the 50’s. Their mission was to dispose of chemical weapons by dumping them in the sea.]
[Another one seems to be a game of some sort.... or a movie.]
