That's the marshalling ground and training area for some of our our Stupendous Seabees. I think the Army Engineers would be wise to infuse a couple thousand of those guys into the New Orleans Gig!!

Damn....
Too moony martinis! I just realized you're talkin' bout the "desert" signal corp....I was referring to that California-based Seabee Pacific Headquarters. Still think the Army Engineers could use some Navy "builders" vs. dropping sand on the breaches...let's have they hammer a few hundred feet of corrigated steel pilings for good measure!!
