Over a mile long and already 75 feet wide, the ice bridge plays a vital roll in not only assisting units to get to training sites, but gives the engineers who build it a chance of a life time. (Army Photo by Sgt. Trish Mcmurphy, U.S. Army Alaska Public Affairs Office)
At the north end of the Animas Valley, up near Purgatory ( sorry, Durango Mountain Resort ) Ski Area, Engineer Mtn (12970ft) commands the northern horizon. From the name of the Ski Resort, you might expect this to be "Durango Mtn" rather than one of two "Engineer"s but the name comes from the supposed resemblance to the steam-era railroad engineer's hat. The ski resort is out-of-frame left, while US-550 runs in front of the gray cliffside on it's way up to 10500ft Coal Bank Pass.

Col. Kirk Gibbs, commander of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District, toured Arizona-Nevada Area Office projects Sept. 6-8.
Gibbs' first day was spent meeting with staff, holding a brown-bag luncheon, and presenting awards. Of note, Troy Olson, resident engineer for the Roadrunner Resident Office, and Larry Triphahn, a supervisory civil engineer in the Arizona-Nevada Area Office, received the Achievement Medal for Civilian Service for their support of emergency flood fighting efforts for the White Mountain Apache community of Cedar Creek.
On his second day, Gibbs and staff got boots on the ground holding several meetings with City of Phoenix officials and then visiting the Santa Cruz Wash near Maricopa, Arizona. Kim Gavigan, chief of the water resources planning section, briefed the colonel on the flood risk management study for the Lower Santa Cruz River. Much of the flood plain is located between two major municipalities, Phoenix and Tucson, and is in Pinal County which, according to the study, was the second fastest growing county in the United States during the past decade.
"What has stuck with me the most from this visit? Simply put, our people and the relationships throughout the state of Arizona," said Gibbs. "Our people in the Arizona office are dedicated to our mission and enjoy what they do. It is such a positive working environment out here and I sincerely believe that it is a team of teams - everyone enjoys supporting each other and working together to get the job done."
The District has a robust military construction program as well, recently awarding a contract for nearly $24 million to construct an F-35A squad operations and maintenance hangar at Luke Air Force Base. On his third day, Gibbs visited base projects and met with staff and stakeholders.
"We will continue to have a very strong military program in the state of Arizona," added Gibbs. "Luke Air Force Base, and the Air Force in general, trusts us, and we do exceptional, quality work for them in many of their key programs. The relationships throughout Arizona are built on trust, and ultimately that leads to results."

Over 1,300 personnel from all three armed services, veterans and cadets made the 2019 National Armed Forces Day parade in Salisbury the largest one to date. Originally conceived as Veterans Day, the name of the event was changed in 2009 to National Armed Forces Day to celebrate the contributions of both past and present members of the British Armed Forces. Taking place on the last Saturday of June, the parade is one aspect of a whole weekend where the national lead event is hosted by a different town or city each year around the UK.
The national event was held from 28 to 30 June 2019 in Salisbury and hosted by Wiltshire Council and its council leader Baroness Scott of Bybrook OBE.
Her Royal Highness Princess Anne reviewed the parade on 29 June 2019 of more than 1,300 service personnel, cadets and veterans and took the salute on the dais in front of the Guildhall, accompanied by the Mayor of the City of Salisbury John Walsh, as the procession went by. The parade was preceded by a fly past by the Red Arrows at 10 am. The parade was led by a detachment from the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, followed by bands and marching contingents from the three armed services, veterans and cadets and finished with the British Army units which hold the Freedom of the City of Salisbury.
The order of the procession was as follows:
Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment
Band of HM Royal Marines Portsmouth
Royal Navy drawn from ships across the Fleet
Corps of Royal Marines
King’s Royal Hussars

Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster David Lidington, Defence Secretary Penny Mordaunt, senior military officers and civic dignitaries also watched the parade.
Defence Secretary, Penny Mordaunt said: “On Armed Forces Day we celebrate the exceptional contribution service personnel, regular or reservist, veterans and their families make to our security and prosperity. The Armed Forces protect us and defend us around the world and serve communities throughout our country. With more than 300 events taking place across the UK, it’s incredible to see people coming together to show their support for the Armed Forces.”
The national event provided an opportunity to welcome the troops returning from Germany to Wiltshire, as one-quarter of the British regular army will be based in the county by 2020.
The Armed Forces and Salisbury have a close and historic relationship and the national event gave the people of Salisbury the chance to thank the Armed Forces for their tireless support towards the city’s recovery following the Novichok poison attacks in 2018.
Baroness Scott of Bybrook OBE, leader of Wiltshire Council, said: “Wiltshire is the beating heart of the Armed Forces and we are extremely proud of our long association with the military. The Armed Forces Day National Event is a unique opportunity to recognise and pay tribute to the specialist military teams, the emergency services and the other organisations that managed the incident and the subsequent clean-up that has helped south Wiltshire to return to normal.”
The Engineers.
I heard them giggling. It piqued me quite a bit in this wood. The Irish have leprechaun. We the Malays have the orang bunian.
That's when I heard the knocking. I knew right the way who they were. The Malim girls with the hammer.
You may ask you who The Malim Girls With The Hammer. They are girls who build bridges. Other girls may play masak-masak (cooking and pretending to be homemakers).
Not these two. Three actually. The other one is not in the picture. She is out looking for planks and picking up durian.
A boy may smash things with a hammer. But girls, they build things. Like a bridge.

Soldiers of the Utah Guard’s 624th Engineers Return from Afghanistan
The approximately 140 soldiers of the Utah National Guard’s 624th Engineer Company, 1457th Engineer Battalion, return to Utah from their 12-month deployment to Afghanistan Thursday, April 25, via charter aircraft at the Utah Air National Guard Base in Salt Lake City.

Twenty-seven babies (25 single births and two sets of twins) were born to wives of 624th Soldiers during the unit’s deployment to Afghanistan. These 25 Soldiers (15 of whom are first-time fathers) will be seeing their infant children for the first time on Thursday.
