U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Alexander P. Barge, platoon sergeant and site noncommissioned officer in charge, 299th Engineer Company from Fort Belvoir, Va., guides a flat-bed light medium tactical vehicle (LMTV) with a section of a ribbon bridge toward the edge of the Mississippi River in Fountain City, Wis., March 25, 2014. Soldiers operated in hazardous, freezing weather conditions, requiring them to break ice on the river's edge to begin the mission and implement safety measures to protect soldiers and the integrity of the mission. A ribbon bridge can typically be fully deployed in 10 minutes, but a combination of 13 degree weather, 35 mph winds, and 8-inch thick ice flows slowed the process. This was the first step of a three-day long mission, executed in partnership with three other engineer units, as part of WAREX 86-14-02, an exercise that trains U.S. Army National Guard and Reserve forces from across the country.
