California cadet finds element in the ‘Hostess City’

SAVANNAH, Ga. – On the heels of his freshman year at UCLA, Army ROTC Cadet Justin Wynne arrived with a lean understanding of the Corps as a new intern with the Cadet District Engineer Program here. By week four, he departed fleshed with experience on some of the district’s principal works, including the all-encompassing Savannah Harbor Expansion Project.

The CDEP, a brisk, four-week internship, offers cadets a holistic view of select Corps projects, honing their skills in the execution of project management, planning, leadership and other faculties. Cadets are also introduced to the various engineers employed by the Corps including civil, environmental, electrical and mechanical engineers.
