Navy repair facilities in Virginia and Washington State, planned port improvements for U.S. ships in Spain and a new treatment center for working dogs in Guantanamo Bay are among the military construction projects that will have their funds rerouted to build $3.6 billion in barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border.
On Tuesday, Secretary of the Defense Mark Esper presented Congress a list of 127 military construction projects at U.S. and overseas bases that would have funding deferred to build additional border barriers.
Esper “has determined that such construction projects are necessary to support the use of the armed forces, and, therefore, DOD will undertake 11 border barrier military construction projects on the southern border pursuant to section 2808 of Title X, U.S. Code,” according to Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman.
The funds will be transferred to the Army Corps of Engineers, which will oversee the construction of a total of 175 miles of border barriers.

CWO3 (Join to see) Ships are High Maintenance Buggers. Now We Know that the Bigger Badder Navy that Trump was Promising Will Never Happen. Actually with the Delayed Maintenance We Will Have Fewer Ships Available.
