Taking a partial cue of China's approach to infrastructure development, the US military should expand its civilian domestic involvement beyond the Army Corps of Engineers involvement in megaprojects to assist under-resourced communities, especially those lacking sanitary sewers, clean water, basic broadband, and public transportation.
