A tractor, rubber tired, articulated steering, multipurpose John Deere 624 KR, or TRAM, drops sand into fortified bunkers built by Marines from 8th Engineer Support Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, during their week-long survivability field exercise aboard Camp Lejeune, N.C., April 20-24, 2015. “Conducting survivability operations is one of our mission essential tasks as an engineer support battalion,” said 2nd Lt. Lora Thomerson, company commander for Bravo Company, and Versailles, Ky. native. “The long-term goals for our mission essential tasks [are] being conducted here. As long as my Marines from the lowest private first class and up understand the implications for what the role of the engineer is in terms of survivability operations [they’ll be successful].” (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl.
