Maior ponte militar montada em Portugal

A maior ponte militar alguma vez montada em Portugal abre hoje ao trânsito na vila de Coruche e vai permitir que os habitantes daquele concelho continuem a fazer a travessia entre as duas margens do rio Sorraia.

Devido às obras de manutenção nas várias pontes do concelho de Coruche, o Exército Português, a Câmara Municipal daquela vila ribatejana e o Instituto Estradas de Portugal - através da Direcção de Estradas de Santarém - celebraram um protocolo de cooperação para a construção de uma ponte metálica de 51 metros sobre o rio Sorraia, instalada num desvio provisório do trânsito da Estrada Nacional 114.

«As outras estão em manutenção e portanto encerradas ao trânsito e a alternativa foi montar uma ponte militar para permitir que o trânsito decorresse com normalidade entre as duas margens», afirmou à agência Lusa o porta-voz do Exército, tenente-coronel Hélder Perdigão, a propósito desta infra-estrutura construída pela Escola Prática de Engenharia (EPE) e que irá ser utilizada nos próximos dois meses.

O militar referiu que os trabalhos em prol das populações são uma actividade habitual no Exército, mas salientou que nesta ponte há uma inovação: «É a ponte com maior vão, tem uma distância de 51 metros entre os seus dois pés, e portanto é a maior ponte metálica» feita em Portugal, disse o tenente-coronel.

Segundo o Exército, este tipo de pontes são montadas por vários blocos, quase como uma construção em 'LEGO', sendo que no caso da ponte de Coruche, que decorreu entre 8 e 19 de Junho, foram utilizados «232 painéis metálicos, ligados entre si por 45 vigas metálicas - totalizando um peso de 103 toneladas - e estiveram envolvidos cerca de 40 militares e 10 viaturas».

Desde há cerca de 30 anos que a Engenharia Militar, no âmbito do denominado Plano de Actividade Operacional Civil, desenvolve trabalhos em prol das populações, destacando-se «a abertura e beneficiação de mais de 43 000 quilómetros de estradas e caminhos, obras pioneiras e marcantes como as construções dos aeródromos do Pico, do Corvo e de Mogadouro, e o apoio a mais de 670 entidades».

São principais unidades executantes a Escola Prática de Engenharia (em Tancos), o Regimento de Engenharia Nº1 (em Lisboa) e o Regimento de Espinho Nº3 (em Espinho), cobrindo desta forma todo o território continental.

Basic Underwater Demolitions/SEAL (BUD/S)

Upon arrival at Naval Special Warfare Command, check-ins for BUD/S are immediately placed into a pre-indoctrination phase of training known as 'PTRR', or Physical Training Rehabilitation and Remediation. PTRR is also where all of the 'roll-backs' are placed while waiting to be put into a class. Once additional medical screening is given, and after enough BUD/S candidates arrive for the same class, organized physical training begins.

BUD/S consists of a three-week 'Indoctrination Course', known as INDOC, followed by three phases, covering physical conditioning (seven weeks), diving (eight weeks), and land warfare (nine weeks) respectively. Officer and enlisted personnel go through the same training program. It is designed to develop and test their stamina, leadership, and ability to work as a team.

In the first phase, BUD/S students are divided into 'Boat Crews' which can consist of six to eight men. Although some exercises will be undertaken as boat crews (such as 'log PT', which requires boats crews to exercise with logs that weigh 150 lb (68 kg) each, and 'Surf Passage', where boat crews must navigate the Pacific surf in inflatable boats), the first phase of BUD/S also consists of a series of demanding individual physical tests including frequent sets of push-ups and sit-ups, ocean swims and timed 4 mi (6.4 km) runs in boots and long trousers, in soft sand (to be completed in 32 minutes). The first phase is most well known for 'Hell Week', 132 hours of continuous physical activity, which usually occurs during week four. A student may drop on request (DOR) from the course at any time. The tradition of DOR consists of dropping one's helmet liner next to a pole with a brass ship’s bell attached to it and ringing the bell three times (the bell was taken away for a few years in the 1990s, then later brought back).

Classes typically lose around 70–80% of their trainees, either due to DORs or injuries sustained during training, but it is not always easy to predict which of the trainees will DOR during BUD/S. Winter class drop out rates are usually higher due to the cold. SEAL instructors say that in every class, approximately 10 percent of the students simply do not have the physical ability to complete the training. Another 10–15 percent will definitely make it through unless they sustain a serious physical injury. The other 75–80 percent is 'up for grabs' depending on their motivation. There has been at least one BUD/S class where no one has completed the program. Most trainees are eliminated prior to completion of Hell Week, but trainees will continue to DOR in the second phase or be forced to leave because of injuries, or failing either the diving tests or the timed runs and swims. In fact, the instructors tell the students at the very start of BUD/S that the vast majority of them will not successfully complete the course and that they are free at any time to drop out (via the bell) if they do not believe they can complete the course. A trainee who DORs from First Phase before the completion of Hell Week and reapplies to the BUD/S program must start from the beginning of INDOC (if they are accepted). Any BUD/S trainee who drops on request after Hell Week goes through the same out-processing as a trainee who quits before or during Hell Week. If they reapply to BUD/S they would stand a very good chance of being accepted, but they must complete Hell Week again.

However, those who have completed Hell Week, but cannot continue training due to injury are usually rolled back into the next BUD/S class after Hell Week, or the respective phase in which they were rolled. There are many SEALs who have attempted BUD/S two and even three or more times before successfully completing training.

Amphibious Construction Battalion One - Estados Unidos

Amphibious Construction Battalion One (ACB-1) is an amphibious construction battalion in the United States Navy based in Coronado, California. Amphibious Construction Battalion Two is its sister unit based in Little Creek, Virginia.

Mission
ACB-1's primary mission is to provide Ship to Shore transport of fuel, Amphibious Ready Group, Marine Expeditionary Force, Brigade sized operations, and Maritime Prepositioined Forces (MPF) Operations.

History
ACB-1 was originally commissioned in 1943 as the 104 th Naval Construction Battalion. In 1950, the unit was re-designated Amphibious Construction Battalion One. Through the years, ACB-1 has participated in all major conflicts. ACB-1 was the first Seabee unit ashore in Vietnam and the first Naval Construction Force unit to deploy during Operation Desert Shield.

The assignment to build the emergency landing strip on Yo Do fell to ACB 1's Det. George. Led by Lt. T.E. Rowe, Det. George was composed of one warrant machinist, six chief petty officers and 69 Seabee enlisted men. Six of these Seabees proudly wore the blue, yellow and red ribbon for the Presidential Unit Citation, which was awarded to ACB 1 for the landing at Inchon almost two years earlier.

A month after the September 15, 1950 landing at Inchon, ACB 1 moved to the east coast of Korea and again supported the 1st Marine Division. This time they landed at the port city of Wonsan as part of the 1st Marine Division's shift from the Inchon-Seoul area to the northeast coast of Korea. While the Marines moved north to positions in the Chosin Reservoir area, the Seabees built piers and unloaded ships.

On 13 August the first Seabees arrived in Saudi Arabia, an element of Amphibious Construction Battalion 1, comprising 210 personnel. These men immediately went to work unloading Marine Corps equipment and supplies from Maritime Pre-positioned Force ships.

On 10 December 1992 Amphibious Construction Battalion 1 arrived at Mogadishu as part of the Naval Support Element in Somalia. Within a short time ACB 1 unloaded five of the U.S. Marines' Maritime Pre-positioning Force ships, refurbished the port, and provided fuel and water for military forces in Somalia.

Treinamento Mabey & Johnson

Once the training Mabey and Johnson bridge was constructed Soldiers from the 4th Iraqi Army Field Engineer Regiment and 50th Multi Role Bridge Company celebrated the accomplishment by proofing proofing the bridge and then gathering to commemorate the event.

5th Iraqi Army Field Engineer Regiment and Joint Task Force Eagle Partner to Conduct Bridge Training 37th Engineer Battalion (Combat)(Airborne) – Joint Task Force Eagle
Story by Capt. Vanessa Bowman

JOINT BASE BALAD, Iraq – President John F. Kennedy once said, "There are risks and costs to a program of action, but they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction." Nearly 50 years later, the Soldiers of 50th Multi Role Bridge Company embody these words by performing tasks previously untried by Engineer Bridge Units in Iraq.

During the last six years of Operation Iraqi Freedom, United Stated Army Corps of Engineers, coalition and U.S. Armed Forces engineers have built and maintained the bridges that enable Iraqis to work toward leading normal lives.

When the 50th MRBC from Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo., arrived in Iraq in December 2008 they faced a less familiar war than their predecessors. Increased security and stability in the country enables the Operational Environment Owners to center their focus on improving the strength of Iraqi security forces through partnerships. Because of this the 50th MRBC knew they could not spend the next 12 months building bridges without also focusing on training the ISF as well.

In April 2009, a group of 20 Army engineers spent 10 days teaching construction and maintenance of Mabey and Johnson Bridge to Iraqi army soldiers from the 5th IA Field Engineer Regiment. The two weeks of instruction culminated in a joint bridge repair. One month later, another group of Soldiers from the 50th MRBC set out to teach more Iraqis, but this time near Tikrit with the 4th IA FER.

Led by Staff Sgt. Jason Peace, section sergeant for 2nd Section, 1st Platoon, 50th MRBC 'Pirates' Soldiers moved to Tikrit with two interpreters and three Soldiers from the 5th IA FER who were educated during the first block of instruction.

"We taught them everything, from site layout, construction, and deconstruction," explained Peace. "Our goal is to teach them everything we know."

Fighting through the heat and several sand storms, IA soldiers constructed a 40 meter stretch of bridge within their joint compound.

"We gave them several classes and were hands on during the first days of the build. But, near the end the Iraqi officers and NCOs were in the lead of the operation", explained Sgt. Mootaz Al-Sultani, 50th MRBC.

During the course of constructing the bridge, Soldiers from both armies shared opportunities to bond. Many 50th MRBC Soldiers sat down to breakfast and lunch meals with their Iraqi counterparts each day. In addition to Soldiers sharing meals, leaders from the 50th MRBC were invited to dine in the Officers Mess Hall. Meals included rice, chicken, flat bread, and ended with tea and stories of bridges built in the United States and across Iraq. Many Iraqi officers were veterans of the Iran Iraq War, and had many stories to tell about their experience building improvised bridges.

At another point in the training, the crane and hydraulic excavator, used to move extremely heavy steel I-beams called transoms, experienced mechanical trouble. Immediately, the operation became a hands-on mission.

"The IA were really driven and our Soldiers were excited for the training too," explained Staff Sgt. Stephen Collier, 50th MRBC. "We wouldn't let broken equipment stop work so we used all the Soldiers on site, Iraqi and American, to move bridge pieces by hand. It was a great team building moment for the entire group out there."

Once the bridge was constructed Soldiers, from both sides, celebrated the accomplishment by proving the bridge's strength by driving the heaviest vehicle available over it; a practice called proofing the bridge. They then gathered together for photos before taking the training bridge apart.

Training with the Soldiers from the 4th IA FER culminated in a joint mission to the Al Fatah Bridge. Once on site, IA officers and leaders from the 50th MRBC inspected the bridge for any deficiencies.

"We allowed the IA to identify what was wrong with the bridge and fix it," explained 2nd Lt. John Cook, a 50th MRBC platoon leader. "IA soldiers performed the routine repairs American Soldiers do and replaced some broken pieces of deck on the bridge."

The 50th MRBC plans to continue their partnership with the 4th and 5th IA Field Engineer Regiments. By including Iraqis during missions, they hope to prepare them to successfully maintain their own bridges and eventually their own bridge unit.
