U.S. Army Offers Its Engineering Expertise to India

Currently, the Corps is managing the construction of a bed-down facility for the Indian Air Force Station Hindon, in Ghaziabad for the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III military transport aircraft as also assisting India with the procurement of infrastructure for them.

The construction of the facilities began in 2012, and Bostick expected to have them completed by the year 2016.

India has contracted to buy ten C-17s. Five of them have already been delivered and five more are expected to be delivered this year.

"However, our capabilities extend beyond construction management and foreign military sales," he said.

"We execute different missions - military construction, host nation-funded construction, foreign military sales, humanitarian assistance, and disaster preparedness and response projects in 22 countries in the Asia Pacific region," including India.

Bostick said he planned to visit India, but a general officer interacts regularly with the countries in the Asia-Pacific region "and has a good relationship with the leaders that he would normally interact with in India."
