Sgt. Phillip Drummond drives a Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck backward to deploy a bridge section into Fort Stewart’s Pineview Lake under Spc. Rylee Halterman’s direction during a wet-gap crossing exercise Sept. 21. The 497th Multi-Role Bridge Company, 92nd Engineer Battalion, joined the sections into barges to move an M1A2 SEPv3 Abrams main battle 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.
