The Corps also spent money to upgrade the dental clinic and other facilities at Tripler Army Medical Clinic and the electrical system at Hickam Air Force Base, as well as provide health and safety support for civilians at Schofield Barracks.
On the Big Island, the Corps spent $129,000 on approximately 18 miles of property fencing for the Army’s Pohakuloa Training Area, which works with unexploded ordnance.
