Reservists in the 420th Engineer Brigade, U.S. Army Reserve, started work on the prison site May 17, clearing land and leveling the terrain. The work was scheduled to be completed by June 25, but has been plagued by bad weather. Chief Warrant Officer Robert Thurman said the reservists have been working in two- week rotations of 30 to 40 workers. During the project, the reservists have been staying on the A&M campus in Corps of Cadets residence halls 2 and 8, and eating at the Corpmons Dining hall. "The treatment has been excellent and out standing for us," Thurman said. In addition, A&M shuttle buses transport the reservists to and from the job site. Ed Ilschner, public works director for the City of Bryan, said the use of A&M services is being paid for by the city and was used as an incentive to bring the prison to Bryan, which would profit economically. "There will be additional jobs at the prison, as well as expert type services to staff it," he said. "Every dollar the prison spends in Bryan- College Station should turn over seven times in the local economy." Maj. Will Hagood, task force commander, said the arrangement is mutually beneficial to the city and the 420th Brigade, which is based in Bryan. "We're getting our training operating the heavy equipment as well as working on anit portant project," he said. Hagood said to his knowledge this is! first time U.S. Army reservists have helped Texas Department of Corrections bulk prison. Army reserve units are required to speni two weeks on active duty training inayed he said. 19 B > The reservists are mostly from the Engineer Group from Dallas, but addition; support units are from across the state.
