    Story by Maj. Khoran Lee 

    416th Theater Engineer Command

    Soldiers with the 321st Engineer Battalion provided displaced equipment training to members of the Army National Guard and United States Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) units in July 2021.

    The Army Reserve Engineers brought their institutional knowledge of the Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge (AVLB) to teach Engineer Soldiers on maintenance and operations of the platform. The AVLB consists of a scissors bridge mounted to an M60 chassis that provides a gap crossing capability to maneuver elements.

    Idaho Army National Guard Sgt. Mark Reyes with Company E, 145th Brigade Support Battalion shared his experience about the training.

    "As far as the training, I can say that it kind of caught me by surprise how good it has been. It's been awesome to learn and get a lot more hands on experience and get answers to questions that I've had for quite a while. But like I was telling General Baker, it's the exposure to these vehicles it is limited to the teams that support them.

    So being able to be out here to learn more in depth and get more hands-on training has made it possible."

    The AVLB training partnership (both the Field Level Maintenance New Equipment Training and Operator New Equipment Training) provided a chance to share institutional knowledge while enhancing a total-component mindset.
