12C - Bridge Builder

• Feb 2000 - Sep 2008

Joined Military in 2000 and was activated in support of Iraqi & Enduring Freedom. My Company was tasked to construct float bridges along the Tigres River. During my time in Iraq we coordinated with Navy Seabees to construct the longest standing float bridge in Iraq History. ZUBAYDIYAH Iraq - The 1437th MRBC (Multi-Role Bridge Company) of Sault Ste. Marie, MI, working jointly with the First Marine Expeditionary Force Engineer Group and the Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 7 (Seabees) have successfully completed one of the biggest projects of its' kind since World War II. The 1437th lent their experience and equipment in floating bridge building to construct a 762 foot Mabey-Johnson bridge across the Tigris River at Zubaydiyah. This is the longest floating span ever to be built in Iraq by military engineers. The Mabey-Johnson bridge is a new type of bridge used by the US forces. To assist with technical information, a representative of the Mabey & Johnson Ltd Company of England was onsite throughout the build. Along with the 1437th MRBC, Marine Engineer Group, and Seabees; the project was assisted by a Diving Section, Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 133, Naval Construction Support Team 2, Amphibious construction Battalion 1 and Amphibious Construction Battalion 2. This bridge was built to replace the original bridge across the Tigris River at Zubaydiyah. The original bridge was destroyed by coalition forces to deny its' use by Iraqi forces. Though the original bridge wasn't critical to coalition forces' movement towards Baghdad during the war, it was necessary to replace it to restore a major transportation route used by both civilians and Coalition forces. The project took two weeks to complete, and was opened on June 28, 2003 as many local and military dignitaries looked on. The bridge consists of six sections linked together; two 40-meter sections anchored at either bank, with four 33-meter sections pinned and welded in the middle.
