In this video , the Pentagon Channel highlights a USACE exercise conducted in late May to test the revamped hurricane protection system in New Orleans, La. Click here for the video! The Corps gave city officials a brief tour of the protection system a few days later. Check it out in this video, also courtesy of the Pentagon Channel.
