08/20/04	First time training for the with the new IRB Bays. As a side note, one of the "civilians" on the shoreline is the designer of these bays!

03/06/05	More training with the IRB Bays. For many of these troops, this was their first experience with the IRB's. Most of the pictures are from the point where the bridge is built until it is dismantled and reloaded on the HEMTTs. I was lucky enough to take many of the pictures from the bays on the river. Thanks Guys for inviting me out there!
