Col. Brandon L. Bowman, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District commander, addresses the Jacksonville District and guest during a change of command ceremony at the Jacksonville Center for The Performing Arts Jacoby Symphony Hall in Jacksonville Fla., July 26, 2025.   Bowman assumed command of the second largest civil works district in USACE, with an area of responsibility that encompasses the state of Florida. The district leads the Corps’ single largest ecosystem restoration project – the restoration of America’s Everglades. Annually, it processes an average of 10,000 regulatory actions, more than any other USACE district. It has constructed, operates, and maintains more than 30 percent of the nation’s total shore protection projects and more than 125 miles of re-nourished beaches. (USACE Photo by Brigida I. Sanchez)
