    Four military watercraft are traveling in formation across a body of water, likely a river or lake in an arid desert region. The vessels appear to be U.S. Army engineer boats or utility craft, identifiable by their olive drab color, life rings, and military personnel aboard. An American flag and a yellow military unit flag are visible on the trailing vessels.

    Marines with Bridge Company, 7th Engineer Support Battalion, 1st Marine Logistics Group, operate Bridge Erection Boats as part of a rafting exercise on the Colorado River in Laughlin, Nev., March 17-21, 2014. More than 60 Marines trained in moving heavy equipment, to include 7-tons and Humvees, across a flowing body of water utilizing BEBs and an Improved Ribbon Bridge. The IRB is a multi-piece floating bridge that can function as a raft. The BEBs were used to push the raft against the current. Despite being accustomed to training in a bay with little to no current, these Marines managed to transport two 7-tons up the river at the same time.
