Also last May, Brigadier General

Mark Toy was named as the new

Commanding General of the Great

Lakes & Ohio River Division of the

Corps to succeed Brigadier General

Richard Kaiser, who headed out to serve in Afghanistan. General Toy was previously the Commanding General of the Corps’ South Paci? c Division.

On August 3, Steven L. Stockton,

P.E., SES, retired as Director of Civil

Works for the Corps, the highest civil- ian position in the agency. He served more than 45 years in service to the

Federal government, 41 years with the

Corps of Engineers. Steve had been extremely generous with his time to industry over his career and his wise counsel will be sorely missed by many.

As Mr. Stockton’s successor, we welcome James Dalton, who is serv- ing as the Acting Director of Civil

Works. Before this, he served as Chief of the Engineering and Construction (E&C) Division and was responsible for policy, program, and technical expertise in the execution of multi- billion dollars of design and construc- tion programs for the U.S. Army, U.S.

Air Force, Department of Defense, other Federal agencies, and over 60 foreign nations. He also served as the

Corps’ South Atlantic Division Re- gional Integration Team (RIT) team leader, the South Paci? c Division RIT

Leader, the USACE Climate Change

Adaption Committee Chair, and the lead for USACE on Resilience.
