Site versus historical organization[edit]

This article should make it clear that WES is currently one of four USACE laboratory sites under ERDC. It should also explain that, prior to ERDC, it was a USACE laboratory organization with several subordinate laboratories, which have become subordinate to ERDC, which itself is headquartered at WES.

Secondary sources[edit]

The First 75 Years: History of Hydraulics Engineering at the Waterways Experiment Station by Dr. Ben H. Fatherree is not a preferred source of information for this article, as it is a WP:Primary source, presumably funded by ERDC and posted on its own website. However, the articles cited therein could be used as WP:Secondary sources in this article to support the same material. User:HopsonRoad 17:16, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
