    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.

    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.
