From left, U.S. Army Spc. Forrest J. Scott of Putnam, Conn., and U.S. Army Sgt Daniel J. Parreira of Newington, Conn., with Company B, 1st Battalion, 102nd Infantry Regiment, Task Force Iron Gray, align a beam for the foundation of a new hut at Combat Outpost Najil in eastern Afghanistan's Laghman province, May 28. The men previously worked together in a civilian construction company and have teamed back up during this deployment to work on construction projects during their free time. Everyone in their unit now refers to them as "The Dirt Brothers." The Connecticut National Guard unit has put the civilian skills of its Soldiers to work helping build up the base, thereby allowing U.S. Army engineering assets to be used elsewhere.
