    A military service member in camouflage uniform and boonie hat is using a wrench to perform maintenance on a tracked military vehicle, likely in a forward operating base or motor pool in a desert environment. The soldier is exerting significant physical effort, visible from his strained expression. The setting appears to be an active military maintenance area with additional vehicles and equipment visible in the background.

    Spc. Adam Bartkowicz, an M1 Abrams tank system maintainer for D Company, 1st Squadron, 94th Cavalry Regiment, tightens the track of an M88 Recovery Vehicle during the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 34th Infantry Division's rotation at Fort Irwin, California's National Training Center. The checking and tightening of track is part of the unit's daily preventative maintenance checks and services completed on all vehicles to ensure they are fully mission capable before entering "the box."

    While at NTC, Soldiers undergo tough, realistic Unified Land Operations with other participants to prepare brigade combat teams and other units for combat. The 996-square-mile facility provides armored brigades the ability to fully deploy all assets in a training exercise against an opposition force. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Bill Boecker)
