    A large earth-moving scraper machine, painted in a tan/desert color scheme, is actively operating on a flat, arid terrain. The machine appears to be grading or scraping soil across a dry, sparse grassland area. Earthen berms and mounds are visible in the background, suggesting ongoing large-scale earthwork or construction activity.

    Oregon Army National Guard Spc. Dominic Draheim, 224th Engineer Company operates a scraper at Camp Umatilla near Hermiston, Ore., August 6th, 2020. The Scraper allows for topsoil to be collected and later dumped, to create a more level trail. Draheim is scraped up the top few inches to remove brush and other debris that could pose a hazard to vehicles during training. The company created several miles of off-road trails for convoys and heavy vehicles to maneuver through the old storage bunkers on the 20 square mile training base. The conditions of these combat roads are similar to what would be constructed in a deployed environment.
