Soldiers honed their skills on this project that improved the tank trail for the National Guard by allowing smoother transit while units utilize the training site. Engineers laid geotextile fabric to prevent erosion, built a sub grade base layer using materials four inches in diameter or less, and built a top coat using materials two inches in diameter or less.

The 262nd Engineer Company (Horizontal) constructs a 300 foot stretch of tank trail as part of their annual training at the Hollis Training Site, June 19-27, 2017.

Engineers laid geotextile fabric to prevent erosion, built a sub grade base layer using materials four inches in diameter or less, and built a top coat using materials two inches in diameter or less. "This training site is phenominal," said Spc. Kevin Libby, a heavy construction equipment operator with the 262nd Engineer Comany (Horizontal).

"It's just dirt so we can push it around and put it back and we don't have to worry about civilians walking through or powerlines. It's kind of like a blank canvas."
