Soldiers of 34th Engineer Company (Sapper), 326th Engineer Battalion, 20th Engineer Brigade, perform pre-combat checks and pre-combat inspections on personal protective equipment and armored route clearance vehicles at Contingency Operating Base Speicher, Iraq, Feb. 11, 2011. The 34th Sapper Company, based out of Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, deployed to U.S. Division-North in support of Operation New Dawn to conduct the route clearance mission along roads in Tikrit and the Salah ad Din province, ensuring freedom of movement for U.S. forces, Iraqi security forces, and Iraqi citizens in the area. "Just because the mission in Iraq has changed doesn't mean that the enemy does not continue their efforts," said Spc. Andrew Williams, a combat Engineer who hails from Winsted, Minn., 34th Sapper Company. "The routes here have to be kept clear for many different reasons, and we are the ones that get it done."
