#63: Accelerating port assessments for contested logistics

In contested operations, ports are no longer assumed to be available, secure, or fully functional. They are high-risk nodes that can be degraded, denied, or destroyed, placing immediate pressure on logistics timelines and mission execution. Dr. Aaron Byrd, ERDC research civil engineer, is advancing how the Army addresses that challenge. His work centers on developing…
