Army Staff Sgt. Richard Messer (foreground), a native of Flowood, Miss., who serves as a construction engineering supervisor,859th Engineer Company (Vertical), Mississippi Army National Guard, and Pfc. Cameron Dahbashi, a native of Jackson, Miss., who serves as a carpentry and masonry specialist, 859th Engineer Company (Vertical), Mississippi Army National Guard pour water on a large freshly filled pothole at Forward Operating Base Fenty, July 18, 2013. The soldiers are part of a small five man crew charged with filling the potholes that have formed on the base's main road. The high temperatures in Afghanistan force the soldiers to work at night, when the cooler temperatures allow the repaired potholes to properly set. Larger potholes such as this one are filled with mixture of sand, dirt and rocks which when water is added will harden into a concrete like substance in the 115 degree temperature of an Afghanistan summer.
