No river too wide: Engineer, air team builds bridges in Okinawa
Nov. 2, 2015 | 1:34
Marines with 9th Engineer Support Battalion partnered with air support from CH-53 E Sea Knights to build a 15 bay improved ribbon bridge during Blue Chromite 16 in the Central Training Area, Okinawa, Japan, on November 2, 2015. Blue Chromite is a large-scale amphibious exercise that draws primarily from III Marine Expeditionary Force’s training resources on Okinawa. The location of the training allows participating units to maintain a forward-deployed posture and eliminates the cost of traveling to train. Also available in high definition.
