April 22 (UPI) -- The Department of Defense has adopted and expanded a tool developed by the Army Corps of Engineers and will use it project the effects of climate change on almost 1,400 locations, the Pentagon announced Thursday.
The Army Corps of Engineers' Climate Assessment Tool, also known as DCAT, was released department-wide in September by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, according to a Pentagon press release.
During an Earth Day event at the White House Climate Leaders Summit, Pentagon officials announced that the DCAT will now be used to complete climate exposure assessments on all major U.S. military installations and at major overseas installations.
