Unfortunately a shortage of material prevented the tile roofing from being installed, but the final product is still a shining example of U.S. Army National Guard Soldiers and their quality craftsmanship, while displaying Army teamwork. These Soldiers spent their annual training at the Joint Multinational Readiness Center’s Hohenfels Training Area, Hohenfels, Germany, building several construction projects March 11 – 31. For many of the younger Soldiers this is the first time building anything of this scale since their initial military occupational skill training. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. David Overson)
