Department of Defense, ACC-APG-Fort Huachuca is currently inviting applications for its Fort Huachuca Environmental Training program with an aim to support environmental programs through the use of student interns.

Participants will work as part of a dynamic, highly motivated team, often operating under tight time-lines to help accomplish critical Army requirements.
