It can be used on dirt, stone, asphalt roads etc. The weight and vibration helps to lock the material together to form a solid wearing surface and prevent vehicles from getting stuck in the sand. ECES is preparing an area for war readiness materials in support of Operation Iraqi and Enduring Freedom. Sgt. Newell is deployed from the 735th CES Ramstein Air Base, Germany, his hometown is Orlando, Fla.
