553rd Facility Engineer Support Team – Advance en route to a mission in Kandahar

We shadowed our friends at the 553rd Forward Engineer Support Team – Advance en route to a mission in Kandahar. The team deployed to Afghanistan from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New York District and will be supporting engineering and infrastructure projects in Afghanistan for the next nine months. The men and women serving in the 553rd Forward Engineer Support Team – Advance are rare. There are only eight teams like them in the world; each comprised of one officer-in-charge, one non-commissioned officer and six highly-skilled U.S. Army Corps of Engineers civilian technical experts. From design, construction management, contracting, geospatial support and more, the teams quickly produce relevant engineering products and services worldwide.
