Lance Cpl. Chase Bowman, a combat engineer with Bridge Platoon, Alpha Company, 9th Engineer Support Battalion, and a native of Suffolk, Va., guides an excavator as it moves a 40-foot steel I-beam into place 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.
