Balikh River Bridge Maintenance
Soldiers of the U.S. Army Reserve 652nd Engineer Company Bridge Team from Ellsworth, Wis., perform routine bridge maintenance on the Al-Assadiah Bridge outside Raqqah city, Syria, June 15, 2018. B-roll includes footage of the Bridge Team tightening the bolts and performing bridge maintenance to ensure safety as they prepare to advise and assist the Syrian Democratic Forces in bridge building and maintenance projects in July. The Al-Assadiah Bridge is located on a main route into Raqqah City that hundreds of motorists travel over every day as families travel to their homes and work in Raqqah. Since the city’s liberation from ISIS, restoration of bridges and water canals are another sign of normalcy returning to the area. (U.S. Army b-roll by Sgt. Brigitte Morgan)
