From the start of 2018, the 555th Engineer Brigade’s Construction Management Team began early preparations for its deployment to Yakima Training Center. Triple Nickel Soldiers synchronized efforts with National Guard units and key stake holders at Yakima’s Directorate of Public Works, Range Operations and Environmental Division for troop construction from June 12-27.
The 176th Engineer Company, from the Washington National Guard, and the 1249th Engineer Battalion, from Oregon Army National Guard, began the coordination process as well, laying the foundation for project missions; procuring the bill of material, environmental approvals, dig permits, scheduling, and more.
