Maine Soldiers deployed to Afghanistan with the 133rd Engineering Company and 1035th Survey and Design Team took some time off from removing bases there, to take part in a soldier skills competition. The soldiers had to complete a relay race, perform combat first aid on a casualty, call a medevac, and assemble a M-249 saw as part of the tasks. The soldiers are working to consolidate and downsize the bases throughout Afghanistan as the drawdown continues. Photos courtesy of 133rd Engineering Battalion.
