WHEN BRIDGES FLY

摘要

A group of soldiers struggled to stand against the rotor wash from a CH-47 Chinook helicopter while watching a 45-ft, 11,000-lb bridge lifted into the air. Soldiers with Alpha Company, 299th Brigade Engineer Battalion, 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, partnered with a CH-47 Chinook helicopter crew of Bravo Company, 2nd General Support Aviation Battalion, 4th Combat Aviation Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, to sling load a Rapidly Emplaced Bridge System to a gap crossing in the Fort Carson training area in Colorado.
