    Soldiers in 687th Engineer Company (Warhorse), 46th Engineer Battalion, 1st Maneuver Enhancement Brigade, work on the United States Marshal Services site in the vicinity of Camp Beauregard to clear away roughly 6 acres of pinewood forestland.A decommissioned tank was found 100 meters from the roadway on the northeast corner of the project site during the project recon phase. Soldiers moved the tank to the Camp Beauregard Museum Complex for restoration and future display. A museum curator identified it as a World War II Stuart tank that might have been sold and used as a farm tractor after the war. Once decommissioned, the front armor was cut out to allow the user to operate without limited observation.
