The U.S. Army is making changes at top levels of the Corps of Engineers, announcing on Oct. 16 that Maj. Gen. Merdith W.B. “Bo” Temple will become deputy chief of engineers, the Corps’ No. 2 position. Temple has been the Corps’ deputy commanding general for civil and emergency operations since 2008.
Effective in January 2010, Temple will succeed Maj. Gen. Don T. Riley, who will be retiring, says a Corps spokesman. Riley has been the deputy chief of the Corps since April 2008.
