    Soldiers with the 1041st Engineer Company, Wyoming Army National Guard, begin the process of connecting bays of the Improved Ribbon Bridge, or IRB, July 21, at the Guernsey Reservoir, in Wyoming. The Soldiers work under the supervision of civilian instructors from AM General, the bridge’s manufacturer. The IRB replaces the Standard Ribbon Bridge, developed in the 1970s. The bridge, which can be turned into a raft, can carry a heavy equipment transport loaded with an M1A2 Abrams tank. The 1041st is based in armories in the Wyoming cities of Rock Springs, Evanston and Afton.

    Military personnel in combat gear and helmets are operating on multiple olive-drab military pontoon or assault boats on a river or lake. The soldiers appear to be conducting a bridging or waterborne operations exercise, with some handling ropes to connect or maneuver the vessels. The rocky, tree-lined shoreline in the background suggests a training environment in a rugged natural setting.
    A group of individuals in military camouflage uniforms and helmets are crossing a floating pontoon bridge over a body of water. The bridge appears to be a military-style ribbon or float bridge, painted olive drab green. The setting is a lake or reservoir surrounded by forested hills and rocky terrain.
    A military pontoon ferry/raft is transporting a HMMWV (Humvee) across a river, with several military personnel and at least one civilian observer aboard. The self-propelled raft is actively moving through the water, creating a visible wake. Rocky cliffs and sparse vegetation form the backdrop, suggesting an arid or semi-arid environment.
    Two individuals stand on a military pontoon ferry or raft crossing a river. One person is in military uniform with combat helmet and life vest, while the other wears civilian clothes with a white hard hat and life vest. A military vehicle (appears to be a Jeep) is partially visible on the platform behind them.
    A military assault/engineer boat operated by uniformed soldiers is navigating a river at speed, creating significant bow wake. The boat appears to be a US Army Bridge Erection Boat (BEB) or similar craft, positioned alongside what appears to be a pontoon bridge or floating structure. The background shows a rocky hillside with pine trees, suggesting a western US river environment.
    Military personnel are operating what appears to be a pontoon or ribbon bridge ferry system on a calm river in a wooded, hilly area. Three individuals are visible on the olive-drab military floating bridge sections, with one civilian in a red shirt and white hard hat among uniformed soldiers. The background shows a riverbank with military vehicles and equipment staged near the tree line.
    A military soldier in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) stands on a boat ramp or shoreline observing a large military tactical truck (appears to be an LMTV or HEMTT variant) entering or exiting a body of water. The vehicle is equipped with a crane or excavator attachment at the rear and is partially submerged in shallow water near a rocky cliff backdrop. The scene appears to be a military training exercise or water crossing operation.
    A female soldier in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) is working on or inspecting the rear coupling/hitch area of a large military vehicle. The vehicle bears the marking 'WYARNG', indicating it belongs to the Wyoming Army National Guard. The scene takes place outdoors on a wet concrete surface surrounded by green trees under a partly cloudy sky.

Soldiers in camouflage uniforms are visible on multiple flat-bottomed military watercraft, with one soldier appearing to throw or handle a rope. The operation takes place against a backdrop of rocky cliffs and green vegetation.
    A military engineering unit is conducting a river/lake crossing operation using amphibious bridging equipment. Soldiers are deploying what appears to be an Improved Ribbon Bridge (IRB) or similar pontoon bridging system into the water. The scene includes multiple military vehicles on the shoreline and civilian infrastructure visible in the background.
    A military personnel in camouflage uniform is working on a green military pontoon bridge or floating platform on a body of water.
