Soldiers of 3rd Platoon, 24th Transportation Company, 1st Sustainment Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, prepare to head out on a mission, June 6. The unit deployed in April 2007 from Fort Riley, Kan. Between June and August, the Soldiers faced a surge of improvised explosive device activity on the routes they traveled, but have since learned how to counter to the enemy's tactics. We went from getting hit 50 percent of the time to finding them 60 percent of the time," said Rolla, Mo., native Sgt. 1st Class Nathan Mercer, the platoon sergeant for 3rd Plt., 24th Trans.Co.
