U.S. Army Garrison Benelux and the Dutch Officer Engineer School collaborated to construct a Bailey Bridge on Dec. 3, 2025, in Brunssum, the Netherlands. Built as part of the Dutch military training program, the bridge increases load capacity from 20 tons to 55 tons, improving access to Brunssum-East and supporting operational and emergency needs.
Across the Kingdom of Belgium, there was an atmosphere of pride and excitement, and a sea of black, yellow and red, filled the streets. Every year on July 21, the Belgian National Day, communities come together to celebrate their heritage.
