First Lieutenant Matt Paluta, the commander of Bridge Platoon and a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, helps move a 40-foot steel I-beam into place with the help of an excavator during the construction of a bridge near Combat Outpost Rankel in the district of Garmsir, Helmand province, Jan. 29. The Marines of Bridge Platoon endured a 5-day convoy in order to replace a temporary bridge with a more permanent structure that would increase mobility for Marines operating in the area.
