Building Bridges in Afghanistan

It isn't combat every day in Afghanistan - at least for some units.  There is the "development" piece of counterinsurgency and stability operations that has importance as well. Here is an article about how one unit - the 172nd Cavalry Regiment -  built a bridge over a swift and dangerous river so that inhabitants of one village in Parwan Province could travel to the local community market and medical clinic safely.  Posted by Bouhammer's Afghan Blog at the link below:
