 The 1397 deployment and distribution support battalion completes a port operation, loading the vessel arc independence with over 500 pieces of equipment in a 28 hour time span. Today, we're loading up the arc independence, estimated at about 575 pieces, including some helos for a couple units back in the states. Port operations are a major way the U.S. Army can logistically move equipment and vehicles and being able to move it efficiently allows soldiers to stay ready to fight. Well it doesn't put stress on the forces because this port and then also our unit we operate 24-7 where we're ready to load up at any moment notice. The 1397 believes their missions be efficient and effective keeping soldiers ready for action. It's just being prepared to if anything should happen anywhere in the world and at each installation we have a timeline of where we should be in the world or where we can be in the world at certain times and I think these guys here this team here will be able to move us there at a faster pace. With so much equipment on the move, the 1397 is keeping the U.S. Army sailing toward success. Sergeant Ian Valley, U.S. Army Central.
