    A U.S. Army soldier in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) stands in front of a large tan military recovery vehicle, likely an M984 HEMTT wrecker or similar heavy recovery vehicle, in what appears to be a desert environment. The soldier is wearing sunglasses and carrying gear, with additional military vehicles visible in the background. The setting suggests a forward operating base or staging area in a desert theater of operations.

    Staff Sgt. David Vasquez, a Miami native and engineer with Company E, 3rd Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment, pauses beside the "Buffalo" after completing another route clearance mission at Forward Operating Base Kalsu, Dec. 13. Vasquez, who plans to complete his training as a sapper upon retuning home, has been busy for the past week training his replacements, Soldiers of Co. A, 9th Engineer Battalion, 172nd Inf. Brigade.
