1AD 40 Engineer Battalion "Band Aid 7"

It, or something similar, was introduced in the Royal Swedish Army in the late 70s. I was w the 2nd CE Regiment as an NCO in 1977 - 78 as an NCO and was realy envious at the guys trained on this beauty while the rest of us worked our a***s off with the WW2 vintage Bailey Bridge system...

[dodger202020]

@Stisse57 Well, if it makes you feel any better we also built MGB and Bailey in the 502nd (although the 38th did more MGB than we did since that was their specialty). Not long after we closed that first float bridge on the Sava we went over to Brcko and put in a semi-permanent Bailey into town so people could get in and out.

I ran near side security and did the safety brief for about a month and then far side security for a bit longer before moving further down range and building Camp Bedrock. 16th Engineers.

@tomhusby

I crossed that thing on top of an M88-A1. God. 317th Maintenance MST (Ace Mechanics). By the way, also helped build camp mudwaste into camp Bedrock.

[tomhusby]

@CWALOCAL3010 we stomped the same ground. I was in the Engineers at Camp Bedrock from day 1. Pulled a lot of QRF and SOG. I was in A Company Outlaws with the 16th Eng. Battalion. We built all those bunkers, the helipad for the mash unit, the Outlaws basketball court.
