A Mine-Resistant Ambush-Protected vehicle crosses the newly finished Baghdadi Bridge. Marines, Soldiers, Sailors and Iraqis worked together to complete the 301-meter bridge May 22, making it the longest floating bridge in Iraq, said Capt. Douglas R. Cunningham, company commander for Maintenance Company, Combat Logistics Battalion 6, 1st Marine Logistics Group. This bridge will serve as a new way to reach the other side of the Euphrates River. Previously convoys would have to make a six-hour trip to reach the other side.
