Bridge erection boats from the 497th Multi-Role Bridge Company, 92nd Engineer Battalion push a barge with a 3rd Infantry Division M1A2 SEPv3 Abrams main battle tank across Fort Stewart’s Pineview Lake during a wet-gap crossing exercise Sept. 21. The engineers constructed barges to move the tank, an Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle, and a Bradley infantry fighting vehicle from the 3rd Infantry Division across the lake. Moving heavy equipment across a water obstacle is a critical task for the unit because it validates the Army’s maneuvers capabilities and ability to close with and destroy an enemy.
